FYI, I just stumbled across this old gem:
====
From: "Marc G. Fournier"
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 1996 05:11:44 -0400 (EDT)
Subject: [PG95-DEV] PostgreSQL.ORG
Hey...
Well, I’m now recovering from a heart attack...
I sent out the registration request for PostgreSQL.ORG no more then 15
minutes ago...I got confirmation that it is complete 5 minutes ago...

So based on that, we could say PostgreSQL was born at 05:06 EDT on 22
October 1996.
