Sacramento State 8008 computer, the world's-first complete microcomputer?
Any thought on this?
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-10429544-52.html
For years, any serious discussions about the earliest microcomputers had to include the Altair 8800 , the creation of Albuquerque, N.M.'s Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS). That computer, as has been well chronicled, inspired legions of hobbyists, including Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who, upon seeing the Altair on the cover of the January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics, began a mad rush to create Microsoft BASIC, their first smash hit and the beginning of their empire.
But it turns out the Altair was years behind another microcomputer, one that might have turned the computing world on its ear if a few things had gone differently. And while the Altair has been in the public's eye for all these years, its rival for the title of "earliest microcomputer" had been all but lost to history.
