Reasons for Success of Intel
In 1971 Intel had created the first viable commercially produced microchip. In 1972 they had produced a microcomputer. But still in the early 80s they were producing mostly memory devices. Due to increasing market pressure from Japanese companies, it was decided that Intel would change direction and begin producing microprocessors. At the time microprocessors were not very stable. In short, they broke all the time. Intel set out to make their microprocessor reliable and affordable. Intel had three different production facilities operational and was working with IBM to become their provider for microprocessors.
What Is A Computer LANGUAGE
A computer by itself only knows how to move numbers around, do calculations or make logical decisions based on the results. It knows nothing at all about customers, invoices, stock, suppliers or accounts. It is the assumptions made by the logic of a computer program that determine what each piece of data represents and the symbols used to express that logic are known as a "computer language."
A SIMPLE Explanation Of How Computers Work
A computer is a machine that is able to perform calculations and make logical decisions automatically by following a list of instructions called a "program." The numbers used in the calculations are called "data." Both the program instructions and the data are coded using a "binary" code with only two digits - 0 and 1. Inside the computer each digit or "bit" is represented by an electric current that is either on or off, or a magnetic polarity that is either north or south. A data or program file is actually just a coded sequence of 0's and 1's represented by magnetised spots on the surface of a disk.

Intel, UNC's Coal Supply and Abbott's Bottles: When the Shoe is on the Other Foot
It was interesting in that as I was reading the story about Intel in which it is alleged that the company "Used bribery and coercion to maintain its dominance in the microprocessor market," I could not help but think that this was not the first time that the proverbial shoe was on the other foot in terms of the sometimes strained relationship between buyer and supplier.
