Today, I stumbled upon this forum and never realized that other "old farts" like me were still around. I was simply trying to show people what my first computer looked like.
I purchased my MITS Altair 8800 in 1975 and still remember a whining college kid that wrote BASIC for it...
Ok, this machine is absolutly useless, but how can I get one?
When I ordered my first one, MITS allowed me to purchase modules for $200.
Since I was in the Army and stationed in Germany at the time, my total income was only $400 per month. However, I was still able to build my first Altair 8800.
Today, after all these years, I am still doing the exact same thing. This machine changed my life forever.
How do I purchase one of these reproductions?
