The start of a new era. I was just an infant when it came out. By the time I got into computers the 6502 and 8080 were out, by the time I was a teenager the 8086&#x2F;8088 came out but all my family could afford was a Commodore 64.<p>I learned the 8088&#x2F;8086 instruction set in college when I learned assembly language. I was too young for the 4004 chip. But it changed everything.
