Enlarged color photograph of the Intel® 8080 microprocessor. The 8080 became
the brains of the first personal computer--the Altair, allegedly named for a destination
of the Starship Enterprise from the Star Trek television show. Computer hobbyists could
purchase a kit for the Altair for $395. Within months, it sold tens of thousands,
creating the first PC back orders in history.
