    My 8th grade science teacher had an Altair. It was the first computer I ever worked with.

    IIRC, he was in the process of setting it up with a cassette tape drive, more memory, a BASIC languate interpreter, and a monitor connected to a serial port at then end of the semester.

    Makes me feel old. As does having to admit I've written programs with punchcards and loaded them off of ticker tape.
    seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way...

    I'm impressed with how young he was, considering everything he did.
