A big, sincere pressing of the F to pay respects. May he rest in peace.

Well, for me getting started it was Zilog (but the Z80 was based on the Intel 8080), Mostech and Motorola. But Intel had a big input too, and of course an overwhelming influence with the 8086.

And as John Donne said:

"any man's death diminishes me"

but some more than others.
