- The Intel 8085 ("eighty-eighty-five") is an 8-bit microprocessor produced by Intel and introduced in March 1976. It is software-binary compatible with the more-famous Intel 8080 with only two minor instructions added to support its added interrupt and serial input/output features. However, it requires less support circuitry, allowing simpler and less expensive microcomputer systems to be built. The “5” in the part number highlighted the fact that the 8085 uses a single +5-volt (V) power supply by using depletion-mode transistors, rather than requiring the +5 V, −5 V and +12 V supplies needed by the 8080. This capability matched that of the competing Z80, a popular 8080-derived CPU introduced the year before. These processors could be used in computers running the CP/M operating system.
- Bill Clinton (allthetropes.org)
Bill Clinton was President of the United States from 1993-2001 (the first Democrat since FDR to be elected to two terms), ushering in an era of Democrats in power in the White House after twelve straight years of Republican rule. He is largely known in parody/satire for his playing of the saxophone (Which is, of course, Truth in Television due to Clinton being a skilled player of the sax) and as a Handsome Lech who was caught in a series of sex scandals, which threatened his Presidency towards the end of his second term.
