Manage episode 309095690 series 3026996
In this 29-minute episode, David Laws recounts the history and background of the "Fairchild Eight" and their Notebooks, what makes them so special technologically and the personalities of each one (min. 6). David then talks about the equivalent today (min. 14), its complete analog beginnings and the memory challenge (min. 16) and closes with how the Computer History Museum acquired the notebooks.
Although not household names, the work of Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore and the other six continues to have an enormous impact on all of us every day.
