By 1975, those who had mastered MOS early were in the fore. TI still reigned over the industry. Philips, having bought Signetics in 1975, had shot up the rankings, and NEC had become the first Japanese company to enter the ranks of the top ten - a harbinger of a new semiconductor world order.

Hey David, this top ten list is awesome. It is incredible to see how far along the semiconductor industry has progressed over the past 30 years. You can post this to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and link back to your site. We are trying to create a directory for top ten lists where people can find your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
Thank you Vince I'll do that.
