["Keeping Informed", Harvard Business Review, Nov-Dec '81, v. 59, #6, p. 8]:

	When the microprocessor chip was developed at Intel Corporation
	in 1972, Robert Noyce, the chairman, saw its potential and en-
	couraged the work that gave the company the lead in its field.
	Others, who could have started even in the race, hesitated to
	work with a component so small that it could get lost in a crack.
	Noyce, however, had already realized that chips could be so cheap
	that losing one would be irrelevant.

Makers of contact lenses should have it so good.
