Talk:Gordon Moore
From Academic Kids
It says there that "Moore was born in San Francisco, California". Well, technically that may be true (he was delivered in a Frisco hospital), but the fact is that Moore's hometown is not Frisco, but rather Pescadero (about 30-50 miles south of Frisco, if my memory serves me right).
See for example March 3, 1995 (Los Altos Hills, California) interview with Moore (available here : http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/hasrg/histsci/silicongenesis/moore-ntb.html ) :
Or the March 16, 2000 interview (Santa Clara,California) interview (available here : http://www.cwheroes.org/oral_history_archive/gordon_moore/oral_history.pdf ) :
If Moore himself repeatedly took the time to emphasize that Frisco only got mentioned due to the hospital availability issue, then I think it'd only be logical to mention Pescadero in this article on Wikipedia...
