        Ed Roberts and MITS created the Altair 8800. The Homebrew Computer Club was formed around this PC. Jobs met the Woz at Homebrew; Woz made the Apple 1 using a Motorolla chip instead of the Intel 8080 that was used in the Altair. Bill Gates and Paul Allen wrote the Altair's BASIC.

        I remember sleeping all night at the Penn State computer center while my two boxes of card-punched JCL, program and data were processed by the IBM 360 mainframe, now the size of my cellphone. It was rare that all 2000 cards were read, and so, back to the key punch. Yes, I'm old.

        Nope, kids will look at you like you are crazy if there is no computer or Wi-Fi. Why don’t you? The world has surely changed, hasn’t it?

        I built a career on it. Thanks, IBM, for a path toward an early retirement, taken several times.

        IMSAI went on the market in 1975: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMSAI_8080  Amazing how the MSM gets things wrong so often.

        It's possible we would be a more unified country if we didn't have all these phones and computers. The internet is breeding a lot of this division.

        Except for the hugely failed Phoenix pay system in Canada. Its cost tax payers over a billion dollars so far and it is not even close to being fixed!
