András Gróf had an interesting career after graduating from UC Berkeley with a PhD in chemistry. He joined two of his fellow co-workers from Fairchild Semiconductor Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore after they left and incorporated NM Electronics, funded by banker Arthur Rock.

We have to get existential to get some perspective on It's significance. This is a very very big deal. Andy Grove was one of those in the early days building the basics. Mqurice
