Google Commemorates Noyce's 84th Birthday

Relax in southern comfort on the east bank of the Mississippi. You're just around the corner from Beale Street and Sun Records. Watch the ducks, throw back a few and tell us what's on your mind.

Wow it's hard to imagine doing much with the old 4 bangers (4 bit wide digital word). When I moved from 8 bit to 16 bit processors the improvement was more than I expected (like 256x more )..

AFAIK 4 bit processors are still widely used inside LCD modules, but thats probably about it.
