Tips from the community

In 1975, the Byte Shop became the first retail store to sell the Apple I computer, which helped to establish the reputation of both the store and Apple as leaders in the tech industry. Although the shop is no longer there, the original Byte Shop building still stands as a testament to the early days of Silicon Valley and the pioneers who paved the way for the region's tech industry.
