First IC you came in contact with?

Pah. You can build a 7400 with a bunch of 741s but you can't build a 751 with a bunch of 7400s :)

TBA120 MF amplifier out of a Barco Chassis 27 TV set , probably around 1978 ... was a grey ( not black) thingie made by semicron and had staggered pins.
every schipmaker at that time made that chip. ITT , TI , Philips, Siemens, Telefunken , Semicron , Semtech , Signetics, Thomson , SGS you name it.
Almost every TV set used this thing as IF amplifier and quadrature detector.

I THINK a 555 timer was probably my first but just for an afternoon hobby experiment at a young-ish age.
The first chip I ever spent real time with was programming a PIC16F887. First in assembly, and then in C.

But I can simulate them with 7400s ;-)
