>  A 1951 graduate of Harvard Business School, Arthur Rock began his 
> career as a security analyst in New York City before joining the 
> corporate finance department of Hayden, Stone & Co. In 1957 he worked 
> with Alfred ?Bud? Coyle to raise financing from Sherman Fairchild to 
> found Fairchild Semiconductor, the company that established Silicon 
> Valley as a world center of innovation in integrated circuit 
> technology.
>
> Mr. Rock moved to California in 1961 and formed a partnership with 
> Tommy Davis. Together they invested $3 million and returned $100 
> million to their investors. After establishing his own firm, Arthur 
> Rock & Co in 1968, he worked with Fairchild co-founders Gordon Moore 
> and Robert Noyce to launch Intel Corporation, the largest, and by many 
> measures, the most successful semiconductor company in the world 
> today. He notes that ?It was one of the few times that I helped start 
> a company that I absolutely knew in my own mind was going to be a big 
> success. I raised the money just on the telephone in something like 
> two days.?
>
>  Arthur Rock served as Intel?s first Chairman of the Board and 
> Chairman of the Executive Committee. Based on this experience he has 
> proclaimed Rock?s Law, a corollary to Moore?s Law, which says that 
> ?the cost of capital equipment to build semiconductors will double 
> every four years.?
>
> Mr. Rock also invested in and held early stage board positions at 
> pioneering scientific computing company, Scientific Data Systems; at 
> Teledyne, which grew into one of the most successful technology 
> conglomerates in the history of American business, and at Apple 
> Computer. He has contributed to the local community by supporting the 
> San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Opera, and the 
> California Institute of Technology. In 2003 he donated $25 Million to 
> establish the Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship at Harvard 
> Business School. Professor of Business Administration Howard H. 
> Stevenson says ?"Arthur Rock is part of the history of American 
> business and entrepreneurship."

>  The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, a public 
> benefit organization with a 25-year history as part of the former 
> Boston Computer Museum, preserves and presents for posterity the 
> artifacts and stories of the information age. The Museum is dedicated 
> to exploring the social impact of computing and is home to the world's 
> largest and most significant collection of computing-related items -- 
> from hardware (mainframes, PCs, handhelds, integrated circuits), to 
> software, to computer graphics systems, to the Internet and 
> networking. The collection also includes photos, films, videos, 
> documents, publications, and advertising and marketing materials.
>
>  Currently in its first phase, the Museum brings computing history to 
> life through its popular speaker series, seminars, oral histories and 
> workshops. The Museum also offers self-guided and docent-led tours of 
> "Visible Storage," where nearly 600 objects from the collection are on 
> display. A recent exhibit, ?Mastering The Game: A History of Computer 
> Chess,? opened in September 2005. Please check the website for open 
> hours. Future phases will feature full museum exhibits and educational 
> programs, including a timeline of computing history, theme galleries, 
> a research center, and much more. For more information, please visit
