Intel Museum

I had an interesting time taking public transportation to the Intel Museum last Friday.  I learned that Intel is a short name form Integrated Electronics.  The company was started by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore.  Moore is known for Moore's Law (1965).   Moore's Law addresses the number of transistors that can be placed on integrated ciruits.

It took about an hour travel time each way because I had to switch buses.  The museum is small, but really well done.  It is located in the Intel building in Santa Clara.  The visit was timely now that current news indicates a departure from the use of Intel chips by several computer manufacturers.  It is clear that Microsoft and Intel are losing the market share that they have held for so many years.  Google and Apple are changing the playing field. 

Anyway, I was able to send a post card from the museum :)
