Thanks. (I asked him privately about photos.)

Maybe I'm wrong - I do not know for a fact, what brand switch MITS used 
in their Altair 8800. Thanks, Rich.

But that's why I asked for a photo of the original switch on the 
original board - so there's no doubt about what they used. And others 
can look at that photo and say "hey, *my* Altair does/doesn't have 
those". I tried to find such a photo, I could not find one.

Well, I found *one* but it was a head-on photo! Uninformative about that 
detail. Who knew? ;)

Cheers, Herb
