**RARE** "Altair-like" HP1000 minicomputer K00L K00L Vintage! <grin> - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

*I* don't think it is at all.

Apparently the SELLER thinks it's like an altair. I was complaining (read:
making fun of)  the seller's silly choice of words. Probably because it has
switches and lights. Geez... I didn't know all machines with switches and
lights had the same architecture <grin>.
