Paul Allen Buys Old MITS Building

u2mr2os2 writes "Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has purchased the building where Microsoft had its first office along with MITS (Altair creator). The long term plan for this is to possibly turn it into a computer museum. Sure, it would be MS tilted, but at least it'll give other geeks a reason to come visit Albuquerque (it's not as bad as The Pirates of Silicon Valley portrayed. Story is in the local papers.."

Oh for chrissake. You're just like those people who say let's not go to the moon because there's people starving on Earth.

I say, why not turn the static display Saturn V at the Cape into rent controlled housing? Two birds, one rocket. Wait, the rocket is a bird. Make that three birds.

In this case lies one of the original copies of Altair BASIC. It is one of the very first Microsoft products. This is an original, not a copy made by some dirty hippie hacker in a computer club. I'll get you thieving bastards if it's the last thing I do! When I am Emperor, you'll be first up against the wall! Bide your time, filty commie code stealers! AHAHAHAHA!

Do not lean on case.

Are you telling me...

...that Microsoft are going to be the sole owners of the ONLY MS Computer Museum in the whole of Albuquerque? Have they learned nothing from the Justice Department experience? This is clearly yet another demonstration of Microsoft's domination of the marketplace!
