“When I sat down across from Les Vadasz yesterday, I noticed something different. As an Intel co-founder (badge #3), he was the design manager for the world’s first DRAM, EPROM and microprocessor,” Steve Jurvetson, former product marketing exec at Apple and NeXT Software, reports via his Flickr blog.
MacDailyNews Note: Vadasz was a founding member of Intel in 1968. He retired from Intel on June 1, 2003.
Jurvetson reports, “I had to ask, with a bit of a snicker: ‘So, did you finally get to buy the computer you’ve always dreamed of having, now that there’s Intel inside?’ Les: ‘You’re god damn right!'”
