Lets see if you can >remember who it was. It was Fairchild, asswipe. After the development, Texas Instruments MANUFACTURED it in mass quantity, but it was Fairchild that developed it. It was a ten transistor element device. I got NOTHING wrong.

But, like every other human institution, a religion is liable to go wrong, and because its adherents don't regard it as a human institution but an infallible construct of divine inspiration, ANYTHING, however horrible, done in its 'interest' is not just permitted but compulsory. >and should forever be divorced from the principles of a nation state. Yes; it's contrary to the concept of 'multicultural society' to have an established state religion. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
