Despite the fact that the Altair is way overblown,
this is a nice
collection of info! I hadn't seen that 1995 LA Times article before.
In it, Ed Roberts says that 40,000-50,000 Altairs were made, which is
higher than other estimates I've heard.
In that case this makes the Sol-20 much rarer than the Altair (~10,000
ever produced). The Sol-20 is a much cooler and more interesting machine
than the Altair anyway.
