This auction is for a February 1975 issue of Popular Electronics magazine.

The 1975 January and February issues of Popular Electronics Magazine are probably the most important publications in the history of the Microcomputer.

The Altair 8800 captured the attention of many readers, most notably Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates and Paul Allen.

Some highlights from this issue:

1) article about the MITS Altair part 2 continuation from January issue, pages 56-58

   Reviews practial application and programing.

2) an ad for MITS Altair

The issue has been read and is used condition.  It does not have an address label on the cover, but there is writing on the cover.

There are no torn or missing pages, and it still has the advertising postcard inserts intact.

Please see all photos for an understanding of the condition.
