Early Years (1974-1999)
On October 12th, 1974 two British Kassmians Entrepreneurs, James McCoy, and his brother, Davis McCoy would found the company McCoy Supply Stores Inc. and would buy a small local chain of Supply Stores and Rebranded them into McCoy Supply Stores, Unfortunately only after 4 years in business, McCoy Supply Stores Inc closed down due to little interest and sold their assets.

On April 16th, 1977, two British Kassmians Entrepreneurs, James McCoy, and his brother, Davis McCoy travelled around the world to seek inspiration after the failure of their previous venture, during the trips, the two would go to the West Coast Computer Faire in the USA, after seeing the Apple II, TRS-80 and the Commodore PET, after discovering that there was an even earlier computer, the Theorysonic TS-Desk, the brothers knew, that they had to enter the personal computer market, it was new, it was intuitive and they could gain serious bucks from it, and so, on April 17th, 1977, Yottabytez was formed, named after Yotta and a Byte, they would think of an idea for a computer, during that time, one of the brothers; James McCoy, would think of a buildable computer, an Electric Kit, after much talk, the company hired the first task forces and named it the Build 'O' Computer, on April 27th, 1977, they would sell the first 100 Build 'O' Computer's, the Computer would be a hit in Kassmais and became Kassmais first personal computer, due to during that time, nobody really had any computers and only knew computers from abroad and wished to have one, they would later sell over 378 copies, a record for the company for the time and later in the year 1978, the computer would be sold 6,025 times, in 1980, the Build 'O' Computer was rebranded as the Build 'O' Computer I, in 1981, the new Build 'O' Computer II was launched, surplanting the Build 'O' Computer I as the best selling personal computer in Kassmais, the Build 'O' Computer II would be designed similar to the first with some upgrades and now with an avaliable case version, the computer is similar to the Sinclair ZX81, the computer would sell over 51,617 copies. In 1983, the Build 'O' Computer III was released to the public, being similar to the ZX Spectrum, again available as a kit or assembled by default. the BOC III also is the first BOComputer to have Color, during this time, the BOC III was the most expensive out of the now trio lineup. In 1986, The McCoy brothers would change up how the Build 'O' Computers function, instead of being, a build your own Computer, it would be more of a super customizable and friendly to beginning PC customizers, the first computer with the new idea is the Build 'O' Computer IV, now already with the case, and more expensive then all three models at the time, the motherboard would be made specifically to be customizable. And in 1988 Yottabytez would create its first IBM compatible PC, the Build 'O' Computer V, in 1989, Yottabytez would create its first Laptop, the BOC Portable I. in 1992, the BuildOComputer VI was released, it was also the first BOComputer to use the new rebrand, simply shortening Build 'O' Computer to just BuildOComputer and the first BOComputer to be installed with Windows 3.1 by default, the BuildOComputer VII, VIII, IX followed up the VI on 1995, 1998 and in 1999, in 1998, FuzeOS was created as a Unix Operating System, they were able to CDE Desktop, during 1989, Yottabytez opened offices in Philippines, Japan, Korea, and the USA, in 1996 SaturnOS and The SaturnPhone were launched.

The New Millennium (1999-2013)
On 1999, with the new millennium, Yottabytez decided to go out with a bang!, releasing tons of new hardware, including accessories, software electronics and tons of stuff, including are the first, Atom Browser 1.0 after being in development since 1994, and the new BOComputer 10, in 2003, the McCoy brothers sold it to a couple of entrepreneurs which proceeded to create YottaBytez Holdings. during this time however, the company started to stagnate and the build quality went down quite a bit, it was obvious that the new owners didn't really know what they were doing and were losing tons of money, in 2006, the BOComputer 11 was released, in 2008, FuzeOS was introduced to smart televisions, in 2011 BOComputer Neo was released, being the first BOComputer not to be numbered. in 2012, the McCoy brothers, now 72 years old, bought back the company and restabilized it and it slowly regained money again, in 2013, the McCoy Brothers stepped down and their Grand Children became Chairman and CEO.

Recent Activities (2013-)
In 2014, the YottaBytez BOComputer Ultra was released to the public, in 2017, the BOComputer strategy was changed was returned back to its original idea, currently in order to buy a BOComputer, you must select parts via a simple interface and choose graphics cards and other internal hardware and choose a Computer Case. currently, all BOComputers are currently just called BOComputer. And in September 2020, Yottabytez recently announced that they would plan to change the logo to a new one. In January 14th, 2021 Yottabytez received a new logo along with FuzeOS which also gained a new logo.

Project Sovereignty
Project Sovereignty is a plan created by YottaBytez back in 2013 by Nicolas and Sinclair, the goal for Project Sovereignty is divided into three steps.


 * Phase 1 = Applications
 * Phase 2 = Operating System
 * Phase 3 = TBA

Phase 1 is the first step of Project Sovereignty; dating back to when Project Sovereignty was first announced. Phase 1 would be the plan to replace applications that were made by other companies such as KDE, Gnome or Google and replacing them with proprietary software, these updates were first introduced in an update for FuzeOS 10 which replaced most common applications that came bundled with KDE with their own software, Phase 1 also introduced the YottaBytez Work Suite which included YottaBytez Writer, YottaBytez Sheets, YottaBytez Present, FuzeMail, FuzeCalendar, FuzeChecklist and Speakr. YottaBytez also introduced a system similar to UWP known as YottaConnect Platform.

Phase 2 is the second step which was introduced in 2015 with the release of FuzeOS 11. Phase 2 would be the plan to back away from using KDE or Gnome or any any ordinary Linux operating system, these were small at first with the update manager being exchanged with a update system in FuzePM, similar to MacOS. But with the impending release of FuzeOS 14, it is expected to be one of the largest overhauls and one of the largest examples of Phase 2 and Project Sovereignty.

Phase 3 is the third and final step has still not been announced.
