Moore's Law Original Issue Found

Posted by Zonk on from the we-can-all-rest-easy-now dept.

Daemon writes "BBC News reports that a copy of the original issue of Electronics magazine in which Moore's Law was first published has been found under the floorboards of a Surrey engineer's home. David Clark had kept copies of the magazine for years, despite pleas from his wife to throw them away." Intel, it seems, has its bounty fulfilled.

    Converting from $10,000 USD only yields 5,229.05 GBP. Someone got ripped off!

    But still, good find for him, and provides inspiration for pack rats to never throw anything away.

    The difference is his is a mint condition, unputzed with copy whereas the two you linked are not. One has no binding and is yellowing the other has had every page removed and placed into plastic sleeves...wow reading is hard isn't it?

    The ones on eBay aren't in mint condition like the one from the article.
