OK, I lost my bid :(
Please look closely , its not any ordinary Popular Electronics magazines. It was the legendary one with Altair 8800 featured.
Remember Ed Roberts? , the first PC? The guy who found fame (a while) invent the first PC kit and later quit computing to become a medical doctor? Yup! The same PC most of us using now. The machine that later inspired Bill Gates to write ALTAIR BASIC later DOS, Windows bla bla and now became the richest man in the world?
Ring a bell?

I actually quit bidding at USD133 – shipping would cost me another USD28 to be delivered to Malaysia. I am not sure, I was supposed to be happy/sad/depress/joyful or not losing the bid (bonus is months away!) but I was glad that I made the attempt.
