It's a shame, one pair of leather soles and a wool rug, could fry that sucker.

btw... That BBC link has a great, simple, explanation of a transistor and how they work together on a chip.


I was also interested to read about Moore's Law:

The chip industry is driven by Moore's Law, originally articulated by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965.
