Interestingly, first real use the Homebrew Computer Club came up with for the Altair 8800 was making music: <a href="http://startup.nmnaturalhistory.org/gallery/story.php?ii=46" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;startup.nmnaturalhistory.org&#x2F;gallery&#x2F;story.php?ii=46</a><p>Never realised “Fool on the Hill” was the first tune demonstrated, had thought it was &quot;Daisy&quot;.

How many original Altair 8800&#x27;s were made? Shouldn&#x27;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.
