Andre Fachat also wrote a pre-emptive multitasking kernel for the 6502:

This is basically the same CPU as in the NES.

It feels weird to me that some hackers don't know what a 6502 is! Sign of my age I guess.

Days ago a user who declared to be a Google employee wrote that many of his colleagues have no idea what RSS is. (No, sign of the times.)

Earlier this year, I wrote a 6502 emulator and discovered that none of my coworkers even know what the 6502 was. Almost every conversation resulted in me saying: "You know the NES? It used a 6502 as a CPU".
