This is the coolest thing I've seen all day. Incidentally, I was talking with some "more experienced" computer scientists at work today, and they were telling me some of their uphill-both-ways-in-the-snow stories. It turns out that the Altair computer operates in similar frequencies to AM radio and is completely unshielded. It causes all sorts of interference if you run one next to an AM radio. One guy had actually programmed his to play music via such interference on his AM radio. Pretty neat.
