na, ez tényleg jó ötletnek tűnik
egyébként az is érdekes, hogy úgy írták ezt BASIC-et, hogy nem is volt Altair-ük, hanem egy PDP-10-re írtak egy 8080 emulátort, azon folyt a fejlesztés.
"Gates and Allen had neither an interpreter nor even an Altair system on which to develop and test one. However, Allen had written an Intel 8008 emulator for their previous venture, Traf-O-Data, that ran on a PDP-10 time-sharing computer. He adapted this emulator based on the Altair programmer guide, and they developed and tested the interpreter on Harvard's PDP-10. Harvard officials were not pleased when they found out, but there was no written policy that covered the use of this computer.[2] Gates and Allen bought computer time from a timesharing service in Boston to complete their BASIC. They hired Harvard student Monte Davidoff to write floating-point arithmetic routines for the interpreter, a feature not available in many of its competitors."
