The Computer that Birthed BASIC and led to Microsoft!
The Altair 8800 - Bill Gates - Microsoft BASIC - ...and the story that ties them together!

Thanks to jonpaulmoen for preserving the source material for the Bill Gates sections!
For clarity, I’m talking specifically about MS-BASIC, not BASIC as a language. I don’t want to rile up the Data General Nova users... they had BASIC beforehand.
