It is written that the Labs had all they needed to fashion the microchip, but they missed understanding that. As a result, Texas Instruments beat them to it. SVC & Big both took the entrance exam for Bell Labs but were told they only had the proficiency for washing beakers." What is your source for microwave? Percy Spencer is legendary for melting a candybar in his pocket while trying to improve a radar system while at Raytheon. Thus accidentally discovering a way to produce microwaves and what to do with them. Amana, a division of Raytheon, brought to market the first microwave oven which for $600 I bought for cooking and powerlifting. God, was it ever heavy! Or God, was I ever weak! He, who, discovered the microwave was none other than James Clerk Maxwell. [/QUOTE]
