Hey, old timeer! You were born in 1925? Congratulations on your upcoming
90th!
True, the FET was patented in 1925, and it wasn't until the 1990s that it
was proven to have been built. Amazing, considering an overall lack of
knowledge of semiconductors; things like sodium and potassium really screw
with silicon during fabrication. But surely he means he was born in 1934
and is celebrating his 80th. :)
