    Happy birthday to...

    The transistor, who is now 60.

    Because lets face it, a Pentium with 1GB of RAM built out of vacuum tubes would be a tad on the large side
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Meh, for the transistors this is obviously the 111100th birthday - nothing at all interesting about that. Wait 100 more years for the 1000000th birthday, then we celebrate.
    All the buzzt!

    Happy B-day transistor. Thanks to you my computer system fits on my desktop instead of requiring a two story building. Ok so it doesn't really fit on my desktop - it's a full tower but thx anyways.

    Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.
