Century 23 began in May of 1977, the brain child of Nick and Penny Reese.  It was the first computer store in Nevada and one of the first in the world.  Century 23 opened it's doors in August  1977 selling electronic parts and kit computers like Southwest Technical Products and OSI Computers.  In the early days of computing you usually had to solder it together yourself as there were not very many preassembled units available.  In 1978, we added the ready-to-go Apple II's and have been with Apple ever since.  Of course, in 1978, you may have had to wait 10 to 15 minutes for a program to load into your Apple II from cassette tape.

Century 23 moved in 1980 to it's first Meadows Lane location.  We were there for six years at the height of the Apple II years.  While there, Apple III arrived.  Soon after Apple's first hard drive, the Profile, a 5 MB unit was added to the Apple IIe, Apple III configuration.  Apple changed the world when it introduced the Lisa, the first graphical user interface (GUI) production computer.  In 1984 Apple changed the world again with the introduction of the Macintosh computer.
