Not to complicate the haunt for the first Altair, but there is no guarantee that it ever
existed. Maybe it was an urban legend that it was shipped. If it did, did it work? Might
just buy the remaining issue of Popular Electronics featuring the fake Altair.

I've experienced this.
Does REA claim to have delivered the Altair?
I don't know that anyone can ever know at this point.
I'm thinking to put out a small bounty for any verifiable information
leading to knowledge of the fate of the shipment, and a larger bounty
leading to the prototype itself. Anonimity guaranteed, no questions asked.
