After buying my Altair 8800 locally, I really started to wonder how widely those early machines were distributed. The person I bought it from purchased his kit in the USA back when they were being sold. That got me thinking about how uncommon computers like the Altair or the original Apple would be in countries outside the USA.
Where were these computers sold? Did anybody outside the USA buy them through the mail? Or did they have to buy them closer to where they were manufactured?
