A Look Back at the Early Days of Personal Computing
from 1975 to the end of the 1970s

When I set out in 1976 to purchase a microcomputer system, I collected a lot of literature from many companies. Over the next few years, I built a number of boards and micro systems and collected more info. I've decided to publish a bit of this literature, to give others who didn't get such an early start a taste of the "good" old days of small computers. Since the text has been OCR'd, you may find some errors or minor gotchas. Feel free to point them out by e-mail. I'm debating even writing a history of those days, from the micro consumer's viewpoint. If you have any questions please e-mail me. Enjoy. Randy Wilson
