Re: University credentials used by third parties

I do!! I do!!  Remember the Altair and Imsai computers and other S-100 bus computers - the computers that inspired Bill 
Gates to launch Microsoft?  For a poor student who built the computer kit and couldn't afford an 8-inch floppy drive, 
switches were it...
