So, where _did_ the story about the Voyager using a 4004 come from? I've
seen it in a variety of places, and never questioned it. As it happens, I
think that this is a fairly valuable item, though perhaps not worth $600.
Although it's not the _first_ microprocessor (as we learned a year ago),
it's definitely the first commercial one.
