That was at the West Coast Computer Faire in mid-April of 1977, organised
by Jim Warren of Dr. Dobbs Journal. The first major gather of hobbyists
and microcomputer companies.  Apparently an important moment in the
microcomputer history.

seems like i saw an Apple I at that show, and also a SOL, which i remember
thinking very highly of since it had an S-100 bus.  the PET was there but
with the itty bitty keyboard the machine was a bit of a head-scratcher for
the crowd.
