Why did Paul Allen and Bill Gates go to Albuquerque?

Paul Allen and Bill Gates went to Albuquerque in 1975 to pursue a business opportunity with MITS, the company that produced the Altair 8800 microcomputer. They aimed to demonstrate a version of the BASIC programming language they had developed, which could run on the Altair. This visit marked a pivotal moment in the founding of Microsoft, as it led to their partnership and the company's eventual rise in the software industry.
