Apple 8086

The whole world knows that Apple officially announced it’s first Intel-based products today.  Simultaneously, Apple stock closed at a price of $80.86 (it has traded up to $81.89 in the aftermarket, but that doesn’t count.)  I once had a Compaq Deskpro with an Intel 8086 microprocessor.  What a delicious number trick – I wonder how Jobs got Nasdaq to clear the final trade of the day at $80.86.

But Brad, that would be illegal :-)

I once designed a PCB for a i8086 coprocessor for Apple IIe.

Now that's just a little creepy. Morpheus, give me the red pill, please.
