@dosnostalgic I hope Bill Gates has rescinded his open letter to hobbyists so that he doesn't come after me for having the source code for Microsoft Altair Basic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists
#programming #BASIC #Altair #MITS

Nearly four decades ago #BillG promised Andre Warufsel and me to send us the source code of his #Basic4K for the #MITS #Altair. He never did and @ModernDayNTK described one of my repeted reminders as 'winning last week's Stalking Bill Gates challenge'.

Three days ago he did eventually publish a scan of the source code on his blog.

I updated the story at https://gizmonaut.net/soapflakes/EXE-199711.html

49 years ago on December 19, 1974, Altair 8800 microcomputer kits go on sale.

The Altair 8800, featuring the Intel 8080 microprocessor with 8-bit capacity, was initially offered as a DIY kit for under $400. Input was via toggle switches, and output through LEDs on the front panel.

Despite its basic design, the Altair 8800 inspired Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen to create the first microcomputer Basic for it. The Altair's success exceeded expectations, with over 2,000 units sold by the end of 1975
