A partial list of suggestions: - *The Description of Finite Sequential Processes <http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/DFSP.htm>,* 1960-08-29, is a significant historical paper. It is the first known publication of the APL ideas. - Summer 1966: APL was named. http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APLQA.htm#APL - 1966-11-27 15.53.58 (GMT-7) *APL\360* was born. http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APLQA.htm#APL_birthday - I doubt that SHARP APL became available at IPSA in 1966. (See previous item.) - 666 box became available in 1972 and not 1971. See http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APLQA.htm#666box . - 1973-08: first use of a portable computer by a passenger on an airliner. It happens to be an APL computer. http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APLQA.htm#MCM1973 - 1979-10-29: Kenneth E. Iverson wins Turing Award for the development of APL. http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/tot.htm
