You Saw It Here First (Asheville, NC, June 2009)

Recall the amusing cover (well, it amuses me) of the IEEE Solid State Circuits magazine, covering my invention of VLIW architectures, and their subsequent success. It said, "Part 1". I was just sent the cover of Part 2. They used a picture from the Fisher Picture of the Day; the historic shipment of the first commercial VLIW processor. Now there are hundreds of millions of them, but that was the first.
