Stephen - Re: " Do you know a good book on microprocessor fabrication for the layman? Im serious. "

Quickly - go out to a newsstand and look for a special edition of Scientific American titled SOLID STATE CENTURY.

There are many great articles inside, including one written by Craig Barrett of Intel on wafer processing.

I recommend you keep this as a classic reference. It includes historical articles on the invention of the transistor and integrated circuit.

Re: "..couldnt the CEO do this just as well from the trunk of his limo alongside those $.03 roadside cucumber vegetable stands in San Jose? "

No - absolutely not. The car traffic whizzing by these stands would cause his expensive hairdo to get mussed up - a NO-NO for Sanders.

I wonder when was the last time Jerry went into FAB 25 to check things out for himself?
