  • Thank you so much for this amazing video, TilTuli.

    I'm 22 years of age, and I was only around with the Amiga, but I used my mum's commodore 64 and Spectrum. It's amazing to see the first computer ever to be built. I wish I could purchase an Altair 8800 from eBay but it seems it's so rare no one is selling it. but I love working with old computers and this video explains everything. Thank you so much!

  • @Anox1e You are welcome.

  • Assassin's Creed work on this PC on high settings? Yes.

  • did aple start by elling kits to make computers? or was it.. kit they put together , which formed a computer, and they sold the computer?

  • @Anox1e Hey there is something better. how about build your own from a kit? just like the old days! some chap has started to make and sell the kits again! Its the same exact achitechture, except of 1 or 2 types of chips-resistors that are a different type for more reliability. I don't have the site but look it up on google. It's almost better than buying a vintage one, why? because you build it yourself, just like the people back then!

    cheers

  • Seattle Computer Products made Quick and dirty DOS(QDOS & 86-DOS). Microsoft just baught out all the rights and continued to develop it. And you kind of make it sound like Microsoft developed the 8800.

  • I have the popular electronics magazine in my hand.

  • I believe BASIC was first pioneered on the LGP-30 or from languages pioneered on it in Dartmouth. Ergo, Dartmouth BASIC.

  • Thats a good movie but it is NOT factual, it is simply a "Steve Jobs"/"Bill Gates" is evil movie.
