In 1975 MOS Technology started delivery of 65XX ICs. So 2025 marks the 50 year anniversary of the 6502!
The earliest mentions of the KIM-1 are from January 1976. The date of the first edition of the User Manual, and first mentions in e.g. Byte.
So I propose to declare January 2026 as the 50th birthday of the KIM-1!
