There were stories in the media this week about the 40th anniversary of the Intel 4004 microprocessor chip.

From a modest start as a programmable basis for implementing a calculator, the microprocessor chip has progressed to being the basis for the most powerful computers.
It has been a triumph of science and technology. I still marvel at the achievement that a successful semiconductor fab line represents.
