A sad day

Sad day for computing and all that gives us. I wanted to mark that. Here's what Make had to say:

We were saddened to learn that Dr. Ed Roberts -- aka "the father of the personal computer" -- died of pneumonia on April 1 of this year. He was 68. In 1975 Roberts designed the MITS Altair 8800, arguably the world's first personal computer. It was a runaway success at the time, selling around 6,000 units in kit form at $395 each. More importantly, the Altair launched the personal computer revolution (and played a major role in the formation of Microsoft).
