Microprocessor Turns 30

5
Because we all love intellectual reflection time, this is the 30year birthday of the microprocessor. There are a couple good articles on ZDNet and CNET talking about the birthday from lots of smart people.

"I think it gave Intel its future, and for the first 15 years we didn't realize it," said Intel Chairman Andy Grove. "It has become Intel's defining business area. But for...maybe the first 10 years, we looked at it as a sideshow. It kind of makes you wonder how many sideshows there are that never become anything more."

Yay for the Microprocessor. Tequila party!
