[clug] Who's famous in the 80's and 2000's?

[steve jenkin]

Today I was trying to think of the 'leading lights' in computing for
each of the decades its been around.

I struck a blank for the 1980's and post 2000.

Anyone got their favourites or suggestions?

This was my quick hack list :-)
Any other suggestions happily accepted, but if you mention your criteria
or the persons' field, that'd be nice.

1930 - 1950 Turing, von Neuman, ...
1950 - 1960 Bob Glass, Jerry Weinberg, ...
1960 - 1970 Ritchie & Thompson, Codd & Date
1970 - 1980 BSD guys, Bill Joy, Gates, Steve Jobs
1980 - 1990 ???
1990 - 2000 Linus & Tridge
2000 - 2010 ???

cheers
steve
