Off-topic: "Genesis of the Transistor"

http://j.mp/qBYrdu  (YouTube)

Too good not to share.  Another winner just uploaded to YouTube from
the AT&T film archive. The men and the work that created the first
transistor, and what that meant as late as 1965 when this presentation
was produced.  I'll admit I chuckled a bit when the film presented
"the modern transistor of today" in a relatively big metal can. But I
still have bunches of those, and even older ones.  Sorry, no "alien
technology" behind transistors, just a lot of serious effort and
science.  Classic Bell System 60s sound track, too!
