Computer Stores Northwest Inc company history timeline

1975

In mid-1975, computer hobbyists were starting to crop up, with clubs of enthusiasts helping to build energy around a potentially budding movement.

In late 1975, a guy named Paul Terrell opened up a computer store in Mountain View, California called The Byte Shop, more explicitly modeling his concept on Radio Shack.

1976

The firm, which launched as Computer Shack in 1976 before a certain electronics chain took umbrage with its name, was associated with IMSAI, a computer maker that had come out with a clone of the Altair.

1982

And by 1982, Dick Heiser had sold off The Computer Store, which had become a profitable business but had shifted due to all the changes in the computer industry, in favor of writing books and teaching.

1990

A 1990 report from BusinessWeek noted that computer-makers had taken steps to diversify their market foothold, in part because traditional computer retailers were struggling.
