Key quotes
· 4 pulledThe KIM-1 first became available in January 1976 — three months before the Apple I and one month after its sibling, the TIM.
An incredible milestone in early microcomputer history!
The goal is not just to look back, but to celebrate, experiment, and build together.
I warmly invite fellow retro-computing enthusiasts and comrades-in-arms to jump in, contribute ideas, add modules.
