Every now and then someone gets the wild idea to dedicate themselves to the topic of retrocomputing, and then also to start a newsletter on the topic. (I honestly do not understand why ... 😁).

In today's issue, an unknown user going by the pseudonym Babbage has positively struck us in this regard. Babbage rehashed the topic of the history of microprocessors from the point of view of a protagonist, who is typically not so often talked about in retro publications: Robert Noyce.

Noyce and Moore (yes, the one) founded Intel and changed the computer game forever with the development and release of the 4004.

The quite interesting history is nicely prepared, and may contain some facts, that you were not previously aware of.

Interesting reading material that fuels the hope for more.
