I posted the following - now translated message - on 23 October
'98

Having had my wrist slapped, I apologise to all for such a very
basic lack of knowledge and understanding.

No doubt the same applies to the message


    When collecting vintage/classic computers it would seem to me
that the apparently much sort after Altair 8800 is the Model T to
the Intellec's R.R. Silver Ghost.

    At the time - 1974 - I thought the Altair was a very very
cheap copy of my very very very expensive Intellec -

    and I still do!

    But then I would, wouldn't I?

    Have I fallen for all the eBay hype or have I've been wrong
all these years?
