A Tribute to the 6502

Benjamin Ryzman writes "A couple of Slashdot subjects have been pretty nostalgic recently. One about the resurection of the mighty C=64 and also an informative report from Videotopia. I've been reading the comments about these and much to my dismay, I found that many Slashdot readers seemed to think that the famous 6502 family of microprocessor was made by Motorola. You can find the truth about it there. And for those who think the 6502 is dead, visit Western Design Center to find where the chip or its descendants are still produced and used. For those seeking a pretty desktop background, there are also some pictures of the chip. I'm just too nostalgic of this simple and effective chip. "
