The Z80 has lasted a few years longer than me in the computer industry. It came onto the market more or less when I left uni and I retired 2 years ago. For several years in the 1980s I worked on Z80 based terminals and CP/M microcomputers. Most of that work was in assembler but I never really liked the Z80 architecture as I'd been spoilt by the orthogonal instruction set of the PDP-11.
