Maybe some of you guys might enjoy this Youtube video of Brian Kernighan interviewing Ken Thompson. Memories recounted by Ken Thompson include how he got into graduate school, how he got his job at Bell Labs, how he wrote the first version of Unix, the invention of pipes, the invention of grep, nroff, and troff, plus epic tales of computer powered chess.
Have fun!

Seem you really fans with him Tom, but actually I will appreciate too with a man who's really older from me. I feel somebody like him, in my perspective he is really a happy man. Until old time he's still enjoy with a subject area worked on the past. A man show with love will never feel desperate for failed, but keep going until successful. I don't know, maybe.
Love it, thank you!
Glad you loved it @flips I sincerely appreciate your feedback!! I almost didn't post this, because, you know, there is such a thing as too much "old geezer" ranting. :-) Of course, there are amazing young programmers too.
