Intel offers $10,000 for a Magazine

Do you have the April 19,1965 copy of the "Electronics" magazine ? If you do, you could have won $10,000 from Intel last week. Intel had offered $10,000 (on eBay) because that was the issue in which Gordon Moore's famous " Moore's Law" first appeared. Intel apparently has photocopies but not the Original of the magazine.

However, this has left the Librarians fuming. The Libraries now have to guard this copy of magazine against people who are out there to steal it. Already University of Illinois engineering Library has reported that one of the two copies it has, is missing .

Btw, Electronics magazine went out of business several years ago. Intel meanwhile closed its eBay listing a few days ago, after it got offers from several candidates .
