I know the Altair was historically significant, and it's very collectible, but give me a break! I paid less than that for my car. I'm hoping the fix was somehow in on this auction, in an attempt to drive collectible prices up - otherwise, I'll have to give up all hope of ever owning any pre-1980 computers that I don't already have. If this is truly where the market is going, most people on this list might be able to retire on the Riviera after all! :v) Mark. At 10:29 PM 1/6/99 PST, you wrote:
