Ah... I really enjoyed the courses by 'ast' at the VU Amsterdam: Computer Architecture, Computer Networks and Modern Operating Systems. With respect for the other teaching staff, but Andy somehow was the modest, funny and inspiring hero of the CS department. The clarity and completeness of the books, the relevant assignments and the humor and kindness in his lectures... let's hope that his retirement doesn't stop him making contributions to the field. Unbelievable that he's been at the VU Amsterdam for 43 years. Signing up for farewell lecture now...
