Another interesting note about the MITS Altair. Albuquerque is my hometown and as I got older and got involved with the local computer industry I met a couple of people who worked with MITS or MS back then. One even met Bill Gates when he was 19 or 20. Said he was a whiny brat and no one liked him. That probably meant he didn't like them. Anyways, in '96, I met a guy who had several brand-new never un-boxed Altair kits sitting in his garage. I offered him a few hundred dollars for a couple and he didn't budge. Wanted to save them. I also found one in the Goodwill electronics section but didn't know what it was at the time. I was too young.
