I also have an Altair 8800, but it is no longer functioning.  I am
keeping it as a museum piece.  I canabalized the 1K by 8 RAM board
(never contained more than 256 by 8) but the CPU board is still in
working order (I think...).  I learned a heck of a lot from that
good old machine.  How many others of you had all the 8080 opcodes
memorized and could amaze people by composing and entering programs
on the fly?  Ok, ok, I guess we shouldn't be starting one of those
long discussions about good old days, but:  Sigh, those were the
days....

    I still love a front panel and some flashing lights....
