Not sure it was mentioned in the last thread on this computer but if anyone wants to actually use a real Alto and many other vintage computers check out the Living Computer Museum in Seattle: http://www.livingcomputermuseum.org/ http://www.livingcomputermuseum.org/ They have an Alto you can walk right up to and start hacking on--when I last saw it it was running a pretty fun billiards game (worked well on its vertical monitor). There are tons of other vintage computers you can use, including even giant mainframes in a cold room like an IBM System 360, PDP-10, VAX systems, and a lot more.
