Minuteman Press

The Minuteman Press organization in Berkeley, California was founded in 1972 as Captain Copy just when commercial photocopying became a real business. The business was located on Telegraph Avenue 2 blocks south of the University of California campus. Over 25,000 students and faculty walked by our front door every day. We were open 7 days a week 12 hours per day. We worked around the clock to satisfy the printing needs of the booming campus community and building a great business.Our store was an early adapter in the personal computer age. We purchased Apple II Plus machines in 1977 and started a new business inside our store offering word processing services. We called the business Berkeley Microworks.
