I like the picture of the first integrated circuit. Imagine running your computer with that.

LOL Reminds me SOMEWHAT of my early days with thermionic valves (not much under 50 years ago )

Much lower voltages tho!

I also well remember my first multi-*CENSORED* with 2 germanium trannies ... OC71's if I remember right .... OH the thrill of seeing my first square wave from solid state! Quote from: ChrisXPPro on September 13, 2008, 03:46:06 PM
