Oh sure, just drop on in and casually mention your MCS-4, the most
desirable SBC on the planet. Do you need docs? Hans P. might know where
to find them. And Hans F. has a few SC/MP SBC's. And we all have
handheld PDP-8's, so the Intersil is dull stuff. :-)

Ah, the voice of reason. Now all you need to do is write a couple of
books, produce a few TV documentaries, cut out Bill Gate's tongue, and we
can finally put this Altair nonsense behind us. But give the Scelbi 8H
some credit, will ya?
