The transistor turns 60

[Vertigo Acid]

If you're reading this on a computer right now, thank the scientists at Bell Laboratories that invented the transistor. Otherwise, you'd be picking up a [H]ardNewspaper or something equally arcane this Saturday morning. EEtimes has a nice article about the history and invention of the first transistors, before most of us were born.

Roswell, NM. What a coincidence.

Thank you Megatron. You may have tried to kill all of humanity but your transistor contribution eventually gave us [H}ardOCP. An absolution of sin? I think so. Happy 60th Transistor. You have made a generation of latch key kids happy.
