Tony asks:

> Can you please enlighten me as to how an HP1000 is like an Altair?

There are two answers:
   1) it isn't, but the seller deliberately wants Altair/IMSAI searches to find the
        HP 1000.

   2) This HP 1000, like the Altair and (most) IMSAIs, has 16 (or more)
       lights & switches on the front panel.

BTW, it isn't just the HP 1000...the same seller is listing a Nicolet with the
same misleading (or accurate, depending upon your viewpoint) comparison:

Altair/IMSAI-like Nicolett computer
