Good Story
The original design team for the 80486 series of chips put their initials in the chip design. Intel was not aware of this for awhile. By the time they were aware of this, the cost of changing it was prohibitive, good joke guys. Sort of like MZ in all exe's.


Was still a good joke and a good lesson to all. An interesting corollary is over at GE everybody, even the nays, are talking about verification, those guys are slick, you think they would ask What verification is everybody talking about ? But they don't, heheheh.
