Big day in computer history
Here is a 50 years look back from Wired's online blog:
Feb 6, 1958: Jack Kilby, an engineer with Texas Instruments, files the
first patent for a solid integrated circuit, ancestor of the modern
silicon chip.

And you are most likely aware that Netscape is no longer being updated
as of yesterday.

Those were the days. Remember...
- when you were supposed to go to the closest physical location for
info on the Internet?
- books published with website addresses?
- the CueCat that the DMN tried in 2000?
