	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Altair BASIC
		Altair BASIC was also the source of controversy in the late 1970s.
		BASIC intended to address the complexity issues of older languages with a new language designed specifically for the new class of users the time-sharing systems allowed – that is, a "simpler" user who was not as interested in speed as in simply being able to use the machine.
		The original BASIC language was invented in 1963 by John Kemeny (1926–1993) and Thomas Kurtz (1928–) at Dartmouth College and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.

	BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Programming languages in the batch programming era tended to be designed, like the machines on which they ran, for specific purposes (such as scientific formula calculations or business data processing or eventually for text editing).
		The original BASIC language was designed in 1963 by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz and implemented by a team of Dartmouth students under their direction.
		Notwithstanding the language's use on several minicomputers, it was the introduction of the Altair 8800 microcomputer in 1975 that provided BASIC a path to universality.

		She suggested Altair, which was the destination for the Starship Enterprise during an episode of Star Trek that she was watching.
		Programming the Altair was an extremely tedious process where one toggled the switches to positions corresponding to an 8080 opcode, then used a special switch to enter the code into the machine's memory, and then repeated this step until all the opcodes of a presumably complete and correct program were in place.
		Around this time Roberts received a letter from a Seattle company asking if he would be interested in selling their BASIC programming language for the machine.

		Altair BASIC in its first incarnation MITS 4K BASIC was a true milestone in software — the first programming language for the first truly personal computer the MITS Altair 8800.
		Written by Bill Gates Paul Allen and Monte Davidoff without access to actual Altair computer or even an 8080 CPU (they used a self made simulator running on a PDP-10 minicomputer) it fit nicely into 4 KB of memory leaving enough room — hundred bytes — for BASIC programs.

		The MITS Altair 8800 is a microcomputer design from 1975, based on the Intel 8080A CPU.
		Today the Altair is widely recognized as the spark that led to the personal computer revolution of the next few years: The computer bus designed for the Altair was to become a de facto standard in form of the S-100 bus, and the first programming language for the machine was Microsoft's founding product, Altair BASIC.
		When they called Roberts to follow up on the letter he expressed his interest, and the two started work on their BASIC interpreter using a self-made simulator for the 8080 on a PDP-10 minicomputer.
