Exactly what I told you, stupid.

Yes, you are stupid. Because as I said, it had Fairchild chips
in
it.

So not 100% discrete.

No idea what you're even talking about, because you've cut out all
context. But if you're claiming that Fairchild chips were in the
Apollo guidance computer that actually went to the moon, it's
wrong. Those chips which were simple NOR gates, while initially
designed and built by Fairchild, were actually fabbed and supplied
by Philco Ford for the computers that went to the moon. That
doesn't lessen the importance of Fairchild and the importance of
Noyce's co-invention of the IC, but from what I've seen and the
cites I've provided, it's a historical fact that the actual ICs
used were fabbed by Philco Ford.

Two things idiot. Well three. The first... nice snip of where I
said they WERE made by Fairchild... somebody should snip your
larnyx.

Second Fairchild made a ten transistor device in 1960 that none of
you have mentioned because apparently none of you are aware of it.

Third, Fairchild made the NOR gates other vendors ALSO assisted.

One must remember that there are several made and tested even
though only one gets installed. That is how mission critical mil
products work. That means that thousands of those chips had to be
made. And there were several before Apollo 11, so we are talking a
huge number got fabbed, tested, & culled

You're always so angry because you're always so wrong.

You are always so full of shit, because you are shit.

So, if we're having a discussion on Ford's capability with current
technology in 2019, it would be correct to say that Ford can't supply
a 2019 car, because some people are still driving a 1975 Pinto?

You are dumber than dogshit. A 45 year old product would NOT be in a
company's service model. The previous product from a few years back
WOULD be.

And the products are an order of magnitude more complex than a fucking
car, so get used and serviced for years after they are built.

IBM was already building computers based on discrete
transistors.

But were STILL selling using and servicing contracts and systems of
the tube variety.

Get off your uninformed hobby horse, boy.
