And you can thank Texas Instruments for that my friend!

I can thank General Corso for making the chip from the crashed saucer available to
TI.
These guys made the first chip, but others were working on the same thing.
They made a contribution in the sixties, and have been sitting on their ass for decades.
About the only thing they have managed to acheive is a govt boondoggle, DLP, whicch they spent the taxpayers money on, and wound up with a display device that is in BLACK AND WHITE, needs a spinney color wheel , probably invented by rube goldberg,
to produce color.
MPEG, cheap hard drives and memory, a hdtv standard, the internet, 3 gig procs, you cant thank TI for ANY of this

Pix, you make it IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to like you. I've tried time after time to get along with you but make a wisecrack in your direction and it's full-bore attack mode. You critisize people for their spelling errors but you don't even know how to quote people properly. I make a joke about TI and silicon, and your immediate response is to insult the company. Did you know that once again TI is one of the top 100 companies to work for in the states? Did you know that TI is a leader in advancing the roles of minorities in corporate America? Did you know how diverse TI is with it's hiring practices? Do you have ANY idea how many MILLIONS of products TI has devices in? TI would never hire a person as socially inept as someone like you, and that speaks volumes about your personality. But you don't care, your MO never changes.

They teach arrogance at SMU. Is that where you went to college?

It all makes sense. Just don't forget to take your meds.

there are actually people who beleive this, which I think belittles those who DID actually come up with the IC. They also think ET invented velcro and lasers.
I find this sort of nonsense fascinating.
I'm sure Rich got the joke, I mean stuff flys over his head but even him, I mean, right rich?
Rich?
