Never realised “Fool on the Hill” was the first tune demonstrated, had thought it was "Daisy".
Two friends at work each bought an Altair. One was able to get the Daisy playing program to work and one couldn't. I shortly thereafter bought an Intercept Junior, a PDP-8 simulator. Good times.
How many original Altair 8800's were made? Shouldn't there be enough around that one could just buy it, if so inclined?
It would be cool to see some sort of MIDI controller on the Altair so it could talk directly to synths instead of using a macbook as a synth.
