This kind of history is so important, and even this fairly recent history seems kind of hard to access. I am curious how you learned it? (Books? Articles? Finding people involved to interview? usenet posts?)
I learned almost none of it in my formal computer science education in the laste 90s -- maybe because at that time it was recent enough that "middle-aged prime of their career" people still remembered it, it didn't seem necessary to teach it to newcomers as "history".
I wonder how much post-1950 history is taught in current undergrad CS programs, like if a "databases" course will include a summary of any of the material you summarize.
