I think that is putting it a bit strongly - it is a /long/ time since 
Chorus was relevant even in academic circles.  And while it was 
influential, I don't know that it was ever widely used (Scott will know 
more about that, I guess).

Maybe it would be discussed in some computer science degrees, if you go 
back long enough and had detailed enough courses in operating systems or 
perhaps computing history.  I don't remember that it never turned up in 
my courses, some 30-odd years ago, but I don't remember /all/ the 
details from all my courses!.  I knew about it mainly because I am 
interested in OS's, and history, and spend far too much time on 
Wikipedia and countless technical sites - not because it was on my 
syllabus at university.
