Thanks Bob (I guess which URL's you "dig up", depends
on which search engine you use, etc. ;-).

I'm going to take a wild guess here - was it the computer
kit published in Radio Electronics magazine? I know this
was the first microcomputer design to be "published",
but I'm not sure if it preceded the Altair ...

Joe.
