What I like most about these articles, is that it shows how messy even high-tech can be:
All the details in fabrication techniques (and its effect on what logic designers can/can't do), some opcodes removed to make room on the die for a bugfix (?, see note 26), etc etc. "Ultimately all digital electronics is analog".
The business mistakes, and lucky recoveries.
Keep up the good work, Ken! (btw you typo'd an "8" and "6" in note 25 :-)
