I'm not sure if I will have the budget to attend, but either way I
would like to propose (or at least help craft) a lecture on the
importance, influence, and continuing legacy of the Altair 8800.
MITS and "Micro-Soft" were both Albuquerque companies.<br>
<br>
I could also possibly bring working hardware if anyone's interested
in that.<br>

Hi everyone -
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Many of you may have seen the message below, SHOT’s
call for proposals for Open Sessions for the annual meeting in
Albuquerque on October 8-11 2015. SHOT is encouraging creative
and/or provocative proposals for these Open Sessions -
especially sessions that can bring history into conversation
with other disciplines. For more information, see below and <a

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please feel free to write to me directly if you have
an idea that you think SIGCIS could propose. And, as always,
feel free to use the SIGCIS list to bounce ideas around… </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Finally, keep in mind that this is the first of many
opportunities to propose panels or papers for the meeting in
Albuquerque - both for the main SHOT meeting on Friday and
Saturday as well as for the Sunday SIGCIS workshop. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks!</div>
