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 ) :

"Moore : I was born actually in San Francisco only because it was the nearest hospital to Pescadero, a little farm town kind of community. Pescadero was really my home town."

Or the March 16, 2000 interview (Santa Clara,California) interview (available here : http://www.cwheroes.org/oral_history_archive/gordon_moore/oral_history.pdf ) :

"Moore : I'm Gordon Earle Moore, born in San Francisco on January 3rd, 1929, San Francisco only because it was the nearest hospital. My hometown is actually Pescadero, a small farm community forty or fifty miles south of San Francisco."

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...

Manual of Style#"See also" and "Related topics" sections says "Mostly, topics related to an article should be included within the text of the article as free links." Edward 22:02, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
And there should be a "see also" header. - Jerryseinfeld 22:07, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
