Well no matter what we may think about the Intel behemoth now, one can't
deny Moore's accomplishments. From his time with Shockley, the Fairchild
start-up by Shockleys "the traitorist eight", and then founding Intel with
Noyce and Graves.
What I was surprised at, was the date of the "Electronics" issue. I didn't
know they went back that far. I have about 20 issues from 80 and 83 including
the massive April 80 'Special Commemortive Issue". I value them for
resources more than my 80-83 Bytes.
Talk about elitist !

Makes me wonder if I could be prosecuted just for having them. :^)

I am not sure why the information is so blatant in its
stupid attempt to ignore anything but Intel hardware
as far a anything that even look like a CPU chip, but
I guess it is an "Intel" museum.
Of course, even now, Intel, in my opinion, is so far
behind from a technical point of view that is is a sad
comment just to read about the products that were
way behind, and still are, the excellence of other
products. No question that if the Pentium 4 had been
produced 10 years ago, it would have been a major
accomplishment.
Sincerely yours,
