==Use== The first commercial product to use a microprocessor was the [[Busicom]] calculator 141-PF. Shima also remembers a teller machine and a billing machine that used the 4004. The 4004 was also used in the first microprocessor-controlled [[pinball]] game, a prototype produced by [[Dave Nutting Associates]] for [[Bally Manufacturing|Bally]] in 1974. A popular myth has it that [[Pioneer 10]], the first spacecraft to leave the solar system, used an Intel 4004 microprocessor. According to Dr. Larry Lasher of [[Ames Research Center]], the Pioneer team did evaluate the 4004, but decided it was too new at the time to include in any of the Pioneer projects.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} The myth was repeated by Federico Faggin himself in a lecture for the [[Computer History Museum]] in 2006.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j00AULJLCNo |title=Intel 4004 Microprocessor 35th Anniversary |date=November 16, 2007 |publisher=YouTube |access-date=July 6, 2011}}</ref>
