I'm sure there are at least a couple of g00r00's on this list who can
provide the information I seek.

I'm interested in finding out all about the Intel 4004 which, if history
is recorded corrrectly, was the world's first microprocessor.

Was the 4004 chip itslef a microprocessor? Did it require support chips
to actually make it functional? I recall that the 4004 was a part of a
chip set upon which you could build applications. Was the 4004 a serial
or parallel architecture?

Lastly, and most importantly, is their a resource for information on the
4004 that someone off-hand knows exists on the web?

Thanks!
