That's true, adamantyr. There are weird omissions like that throughout. I'm happy to report that in my research for the book, I definitely acknowledged that important accomplishment in the final text. I think part of the issue is what the person writing the text or doing the research deems important. It's not easy to take your own perceptions or experiences out of the equation to really get down to what should and shouldn't be discussed. Personally, I'm delighted when I find out something new, particularly in regards to US videogame and personal computing history (one example I'll be writing about very soon is the Panasonic JR-200U from 1983, which I didn't even know existed until just a couple of months ago despite closely following everything from that same time period and doing intense research the past couple of years!). Certainly, statements like your post get indexed on the Web and contribute to at least flagging what's important when the next writer comes along to do a history. That's why it's so important to have these discussions.
