For me it is the “fall of the Berlin wall” and the celebrations after the border openings.

    I’ve always wished I could have taken part in the Menlo Park Homebrew Computer Club from 75 to 86.

    The first meeting of the club was held on March 5, 1975, in French’s garage in Menlo Park, San Mateo County, California, on the occasion of the arrival in the area of the first Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS) Altair 8800 microcomputer, a unit sent for review by People’s Computer Company. Steve Wozniak credits that first meeting as the inspiration to design the Apple I.

    So I guess I would use the incredible advancement of time travel to go back a few years before I was born to hang out in some dude’s garage.

      This is a great answer. Wozniak’s autobiography is a good read.
