It's a funny old world.
It is odd. At Sunderland Polytechnic in the late 80s, I was learning assembler on a 6809. Even then it was seen as more modern than a Z80. But the Z80 goes on. ICs appear to be like that - eg. you can still buy 555 timers and 741 op amps, products that were common when I was still at school.Comment
