Show me Microsoft!
LexRonza@reddit
Yeah, what is Microsoft.
syrtran@reddit
I'm sorry, that's incorrect. The proper question is "What is Micro Soft?"
🙂
nixiebunny@reddit
What is Micro-Soft?Â
Enlightenment777@reddit
Split apart as 2 words is the correct answer for that era.
syrtran@reddit
You are correct and I'm getting dumber. 😃

The building still stands, with a plaque noting its history.

An aside, but even today whenever I see a Jeopardy screen I hear it in Alex Trebek’s voice. RIP. Â
I do like when they dip into the vintage tech though. Â I assume one of the contestants got it right?
SomePeopleCallMeJJ@reddit (OP)
Nope! It was a triple stumper!
I, of course, was shouting at the screen and poking my wife in the arm. Last time we were in Albuquerque, I dragged her to the old MITS site and had her take my picture there, so she knew it too. :-D
LocalH@reddit
I'm offended, this is very near to MITS erasure
postmodest@reddit
Didn't MITS only last like six years?
SomePeopleCallMeJJ@reddit (OP)
Yeah, Pertec did a pretty good job of erasing MITS long ago, sadly.
