Hi all. I was watching Malcom in the Middle last night and they had a classic
computer storyline. The were cleaning out their garage and found a "Nortair"
computer. It looked to me like an altair front panel with the base but no
cover and no cards inside. Someone offered them $1300 for it but they
wouldn't let one son keep the money so he broke it in half. Anyway, I just
wondered if anyone else saw this.

Wow, that's crazy. Classic computer themes are now being featured in
cheesy sitcoms.
I guess that name is supposed to be a catenation of "Northstar" and
"Altair".

You give these people too much credit. I'd say "Norton" and
