He has a built-in sorting and packaging staff for the AltairDuino, μKenbak-1, etc. (or a baseball team!)

I will light a candle for your wife, Chris.

Thanks for finding that!  I heard about the demise of Linux Journal, so I thought that story would never see the light of day.

What an interesting article, thanks for finding & posting John! It was interesting to see that one of Chris's hopes is that these kits will be used as a learning tool for kids. I don't remember if I posted this or not, but I've been getting a kick out of the Infocom games on HDSK04 and found a whole bunch of walk-throughs for them on eristic.net. I was thinking these would be great entertainment for kids and get them interested in old-timey computers like the Altair. After they're hooked on the games then grandpa could start explaining how computers actually work.
