"A highlight of the sale is a computer that Allen helped restore and on
which he worked, a DEC PDP-10: KI-10. Built in 1971, it’s the first
computer that both Allen and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates ever used
prior to founding Microsoft. It’s estimated to fetch $30,000 to $50,000."
A) It's a DecSystem 20/20, not a KI.
B) They used it in the mid 80's
C) He really did care about it, but not enough to save it.
Nope. LCM had a KI-10, ISTR it was half of a dual CPU system from
Kiel. When I visted there was a 2060 and a 2065, as well as a KS.
I understand that later they acquired a KA and the MIT-MC KL (1080).
