... that according to Byte, Comp-Sultants released the first microcomputer based on the Intel 4040—itself the first successor to the first commercially produced microprocessor? Source: Helmers 1975, p. 89.
- ALT1: ... that David H. Ahl called Comp-Sultants "one of the first casualties" of the microcomputer revolution? Source: "The Micro 440 never caught on, and its manufacturer, Comp-Sultants, was one of the first casualties in the field" (Ahl 1984, p. 32).
- ALT2: ... that to prepare the software for their computers, Comp-Sultants erased EPROMs on the hoods of employees' cars? Source: "Instead, we just put the EPROMs outside, on the hood of someone's car, and let the Sun do the job. Sometimes, the software acted strangely. Do you think maybe a cloud passed over the Sun?" (Crenshaw & Holland 2012, p. 28).

New enough, long enough, sourced, no copyright issues besides false-positives on quotes. Far prefer ALT1 among the three given here so request that it is the one promoted to the main page. Minor issue with page numbering in sourcing on ALT1's fact inline remedied. Great job! ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:02, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
