Hi SVS,
thanks for responding in a polite manner. I may have been a bit harsh on him. Honestly, it's nothing I should be bothered about. I had some contact with Stan Mazor, who used to post on the Usenet years ago and he came off as a very helpful person. He was responsible for most of the systems architecture of the i4004, as I understand. It's good that F.F. is taking care of archiving some of the history around the i4004. But I still can't help but feel that a lot of it is extremely self centered. I guess that easily happens when you are the curator of your own work. It was quite common in the earlier years for layout designers to leave their initials on an integrated circuit, so that does not surprise me. But again, that does not relate to the systems design etc.
