Re: "Are you sure it isn't because one company was lucky enough to rip off the Zilog microprocessor that powered the old TRS-80?" Kevin, go check your history. Intel invented the 4004, 8008, 8080 followed by the 8085. A group of Intel engineers broke away, started Zilog and did the Z80. Your Intel bashing knows no end. EP

Kevin, Re: "Are you sure you're an engineer?" Kevin, Do you really believe that Intel "stole" a CPU design from Zilog. You really are an idiot ... An idiot that doesn't know his history. You just sound like a "loser" ... Make that a "sore loser". <ggg> Make It So, Yousef
