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. :)
