Well, of course it's a branch of the corporate PR department, what did you
expect?

But the Intel of the 1969-1979 era was a dynamic and innovative company.
Look at the 3101, 1101, 4004, 8008, 1702, 2102, 8080, etc. All the other
companies were playing catch-up.

The Moore article is indepent of Intel anyway, it was written when he was at
Fairchild before Intel was even founded.
