[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] 50th Anniversary of the Intel 4004 Microprocessor

[Mitchell I. Wolfe]

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Intel 4004 microprocessor.

There was article [1] about this in today's WSJ.

According to the author:
_"I'm convinced that most wealth created since 1971 is a direct result 
of the 4004. All of tech. All of finance. All of retail--ask Walmart [2] 
about its inventory system. Oil? Good luck finding and drilling it 
without smart machines."_

Also note the personal reminiscing stories contained in the associated 
conversation threads.
