Happy 30'th Birthday PC

The Altair 8800 shown above was the worlds first IBM PC. It included Intel's 8080 processor, a memory for 65,000 words, 65,000 subroutine levels, and up to 181 available machine instructions.
The Altair 8800 shows little similarity with today's computers and came without monitor, keyboard or disc storage. Instead, switches and LEDs were used to develop simple programs. Even Bill Gates is reported to have used the device for his first applications. The Altair did not achieve a major breakthrough in terms of production units. The first computers to receive significant public exposure were the Apple II in 1978 and the IBM PC in 1981.
It was popularized in the January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics. The Altair 8800 was announced as the "world's first minicomputer kit" and could be ordered and built for $397. The assembled model was offered for $498.
The overall structure was housed in a box of dimensions 17x18x7 inches.

My younger Brothers idea of something funny
+(My first Picture Blog ever)

Home at last (The after Shaadi Blog)

Everything was going on fine when out of nowhere there was a wedding. It was of my mothers cousins daughter or something. I dont know that side of the family really well but I didnt get real bored due to some strange reason. After all the classes I've slept through back in GIKI, sleeping through this one was piece of cake.(Did I mention that I can sleep with my eyes open).
The waiters were all dressed up real funny and looked like members of the mafia who were ready
to douse you with the soup they were carrying (Staying up late can make you imagine funny things.)

The good thing was that in the end the food was great or it seemed after the horrible mess food I'm accustomed to eating. In fact I eat so much that I dont think I'll be able to lie down until 3 am

Anyways the overall experience was good. Brings back old memories.
