The original "Moore's Law" article.

It had an interview with founder Gordon Moore- presumably the one that popularized "Moore's Law".

Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

Make that "number of transistors on a chip" and "every two years" (later revised to 18 months, IIRC).

Bill Gates, re: the IBM PC, not Moore, and "640K."

Cheers, James Arthur

Why?

Presumably a historic Intel product announcement like the 4004/8008/8080?

That's where he said that computer power will double every ten years, and 64K of memory will be more than anyone will ever need. They are buying up all the copies in order to destroy the evidence.

hmmm, tried Ebay?.

"Wales is a big welsh-shaped rain collection device"

Hello Jim,

Just imagine if somebody would now remember how he read it with great interest and then used that copy to light his wood stove back then.

Regards, Joerg

Had your humorus removed?

Hello John,

You could also do that for the "Blue Mauritius" stamp that is supposedly worth millions. But then it's not an original.

Regards, Joerg

It seems crazy to me. For USD10k you could replicate it, i.e. make the printing plates again. For a lot less you could make a replica using modern methods.

Well, it doesn't matter; that will have rendered him 'armless.

Agreed.

The written words are the quintessence, not the ink and paper itself.

Indeed. It depends on what they want it for. It seems a bit odd for a commercial company to invest in a museum object these days.

Yep, and they're being stolen from libraries. The local (to where I am now) library, UIUC's Granger Library, lost one of its copies in the last couple of days. The other isn't for sale and is now under lock and key.

I don't long for any of my old toys, and my wife still has her

Moore himself wants it, according to what I heard on NPR on Monday night.

It has nothing to do with wanting to know what he wrote back then, it's everything to have the artifact in hand. I think the NPR piece said he'd lost his copy, or lent it to someone. The cost goes up because so many did not keep their copy.

All kinds of kids give away their toys and comic books when they grow up (or their parents get rid of them), and then decades later they want those memories back. But years later, the quantity is way down because people have broken them, and thrown them away, so those who want them have to compete. But since it's the memories they want, substitutes do not work.

Note the use of one-inch wafers. Monocrystalline silicon was so rare in those days that there was a debate within Intel as to whether to use uniform circular wafers, or irregular ones.
