No single event has changed society so much in such a brief space of time.

The very fact you can snort at me is proof.


It was first conceived of by a British scientist, Geoffrey Dummer. Jack Kilby was born in Missouri, and Robert Noyce in Iowa. See a connection? Texas Instruments may be based in Texas, but where did the talent come from?


Aye, I'll concede that.

I'm not saying Texas hasn't got talent, I'm just asking, where's the home-grown talent?
