[NJARC] The Kit that launched the Tech revolution

[Sal Brisindi via NJARC]

 I still have my January 1975 and February 1975 issues of Popular Electronics featuring the Altair on the cover of the January issue. I purchased them when I was 15 years old on a new stand on 18th Ave between 63rd and 64th street in Brooklyn NY.

Hi Gang,

Kit came out in 1975. I was there in 1976. I built serial 56 IMSAI computer, an 
improved Altair.  Still have it.

Then I ran the first national "Personal Computing" (TM) show "PC76" (TM) in 
August in Atlantic City. "Everybody" came.
