Idiot! "IC"s NEVER "had less than ten transistors", you stupid twit.

The very first IC HAD ten transistors, so there were none "that had
less".
WRONG!
Fairchild UA702 had nine, the UA705 had five, i think their first -
the UA700 had three; certainly the infamous Jack Kilby patent used way
less than 10.
