I've never read Intel's versions of the events
-- all I have to go on are
artifacts. I'm not aware of any computer artifacts that support the idea
that somebody else enabled cheap computers to be made before Intel did.
Do I have to invoke the magic words "PDP-8" here? :-). Cheap enough
that thousands made their way into high schools in the early 70's, and
cheap enough that several did buy them for use at home.
You don't need to be a "micro" to be affordable!
