Randy Wigginton started learning about computers in 1974. Since computers were tough to come by in the '70s, Randy joined the Silicon Valley-based Homebrew Computer Club - an informal group to learn more about computers, share tips, and trade electronic parts. At age 15, young Randy wasn't yet old enough to drive himself to the Homebrew meetings and another member of the group, Steve Wozniak offered him a lift.
