DESCRIPTION:[IEEE vTools Event Info](https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/19888
 6)\n\nSome of us are old enough to remember our first computer being the o
 ne of the Atari Game Systems\, Atari 400 or 800\, some form of Apple II\, 
 or the Commodore Vic 20 or C64.\n\nThere are fascinating histories behind 
 the creation of the heart of most personal processing systems back in the 
 late 70s and early to mid 80s.\n\nWe won&#39;t focus on Intel&#39;s 8080\, the hea
 rt of the Altair\, the first personal computer\, and the computer that hel
 ped to spawn the HomeBrew Computer Club. Instead\, we&#39;ll start with Chuck 
 Peddle\, a microchip designer who left Motorola because the company didn&#39;t
  want his idea of a stripped-down processor to eat market share away at th
 eir $300 68XX chip family.\n\nChuck jumps to MOS Technologies\, and develo
 ps the 6502 Microprocessor\, on sale for $25 in quantities of one.\n\nIt i
 s this price point that attracts Steve Wozniak to build a working personal
  computer on plywood to plug into a TV called the Apple I\, to show off at
  the HomeBrew Computer Club. Fifty Apple I circuit boards were sold for $6
 66.66 each (roughly $3k today). Woz&#39;s friend Steve Jobs thinks they could 
 make a business selling pre-assembled computers\, &quot;1000 a week.&quot;\n\nThere 
 will be tales of intrigue\, backstabbing\, dirty tactics\, and cutthroat c
 ompetition from Steve Jobs\, Bill Gates\, Nolan Bushnell\, Jack Tramiel\, 
 and Bil Herd.\n\nThere may be 8-bit machines on display (Atari | Commodore
  | Apple).\n\nSome time may be allocated to let others reminisce about the
 ir &#39;6502 moments.&#39;\n\nFood and drinks will be provided.\n\nSpeaker(s): Ben
