About 11 years ago, Dr Corbato was invited to speak at an ACM meeting in the computer science department at Uconn.
He came, but he was, seemingly, too elderly to actually speak. So he stood up, turned on that video on YouTube, and then sat down, ending the entirety of his interaction with our students.
I was thrilled to become aware of the video and have watched it several times since, but I feel the physical appearance was not a great use of Dr. Corbato's time.
