worth so much more then the better later version with a proper keyboard. The
computers I collect actually get used so if I ever wanted a Ti it would be

learning to program on chicklet keyboards sucks.
If you think that sucks, you should try toggling it all in with bit
switches! Especailly the narrow bite-into-your-finger switches used on
the original Altairs.
Oh yeah? Well in my day, we didn't have zeroes. Just the letter 'O'!
