You think your quote was gibberish? What about "Micro Instrumentation
Tolementary Systems" [sic]? You got off lightly, my friend. :-P
That WAS my quote! That's what I was talking about. I told him the
Altair was made by MITS, and then decided to tell him what MITS stood for
(WARNING! Never attempt to decipher for a reporter the initials of a
company that uses big words in its full name). I discussed IMSAI next, so
that explains how his notes got jumbled.
I even spelled "Telemetry" for him twice for gawd's sake!!
