> I'd doubt too that von Neumann was burning to steal credit for the stored-program concept Well, he obviously has left out the main inventors of the design as authors and didn't even mention them in the credits (nor the references), and neither he nor Goldstine had the permission to distribute/publish details of the design. Not exactly the behavior I would expect from a reputable scientist. That's like translating an Einstein paper to some other language/formalism and then just putting the name of the translator on the authors list (leaving out the actual author). There have already been students expelled from universities for minor offenses.
