Dear John,

Thanks for the recital of old processors. I think that you
forgot the 8088, which I think was in the original IBM PC.

Well, I wasn't sure where to start; I think there was the 8080 before
that. And so on back to the 4004, often claimed to be the first
microprocessor (I think it was 4 bit - and might have been only 16 or 24
pins!).



I still have my first Radio Shack electronic calculator.

It's got a 4004


probably some kind of a minor collector's item
