Re: Out of cheese error

I had a similar experience in roughly 1976. The computer was an IMSAI 8080 that I was repairing for a friend, the tunage was Pink Floyd's Dark Side on half inch tape that I had "borrowed" from the radio station on a TEAC 2340(??), through MacIntosh amps into four Altec Lansing prototypes that had fallen into my lap ... The computer was burbling away to itself, happily computing something vital (It was a memory test program designed to make the LEDs blink at a rate slow enough for the human eye to register the blinking). Somehow he managed to connect the blinkin lites with the tunes.

"Man!" he said, pointing at the 8080, "I have GOT to get me one of those! Best sound I've ever heard!"
