Thanks - this is some wonderful reading. For example, the Bob Taylor portion and the birth of the ARPANET and the ALTO computer nicely complements other books such as Leslie Berlin's Troublemakers.
Thanks, Brian Berg

Severo Ornstein's memoir "Computing in the Middle Ages -- A view from the trenches, 1955-1983".
Available publicly at the Computer History Museum.
https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102785079His journey goes from Whirlwind to TX-2 to LINC to ARPANET to Durado to Mockingbird. At least look at the annotated Table of Contents and read the Preface to see what you'd be missing to not read his well written story.
