Back, back, back in the day - the semiconductor industry was different. Leading-edge was everything, cores were different and competition was fierce. The semiconductor industry of the 1980's and
90's has been compared to the wild wild west, and rightfully so.
This is a song, sang to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun", sung at the National Semiconductor FAE Conference in 1989. For those you semis, I hope it brings back fond memories. Those of you that are not, well, it will help you understand some of the frustrations of working for a semiconductor manufacturer.
