Pro : 1. It is great to hear Brian Kernighan's account of the early history of Unix. 2. It was wonderful to hear about his interactions with one of my personal heroes, Richard Hamming. Hamming's book on error correction (Coding and information theory) is amazing. 3. It is very kind of Adam Gordon Bell to make these wonderful interviews available. These interviews are oral history that will never again be available once the interviewees are gone. Con: 1. The interviewer talks far too much about irrelevant trivia and often talks at greater length about than the people being interviewed. 2. It has the feel of Adam Gordon Bell interviews Adam Gordon Bell. A little less Bell and more of the interviewee would have been less irritating and easier to listen to. Despite my caveats, I intend to download and listen to many more of these interviews on my commute to work. Keep up this historically important work, but please let the interviewees talk without continually interrupting.
