_______________________
The
Altair
8800
is
generally
believed
to
be
the
first
"Personal
Computer".
It
was
designed
by
Ed
Roberts
and
introduced
by
MITS
in
April
1974
at
some
of
the
"home-brew"
computer
clubs
that
were
formed
in
what
is
now
known
as
Silicon
Valley
as
a
build
it
yourself
unit
with
chassis,
power
supply,
system
PCB,
and
loaded
with
256
bytes
of
memory.
It
had
been
previously
announced
in
Popular
Electronics
and
MITS
received
some
4000
orders
for
the
machine
BEFORE
it
was
available.
There
were
no
I/O
devices,
didn't
have
a
monitor
or
a
keyboard
and
there
was
no
Operating
System
available.
You
programmed
the
system
from
the
front
panel
(octal)
switches.
This
first
desktop
computer
spawned
the
idea
that
computers
could
be
built
small
and
developed
without
the
resources
of
IBM,
Univac,
Burroughs
and
the
other
mega
powers
of
the
computer
business
at
that
time.
Now
we
have
advanced
to
the
internet
age,
which
is
driven
by
computers
of
many
different
styles
and
configurations.
What
does
the
future
hold
for
us?
