I’m really glad they cited the interviews Mike Mahoney, RIP, did with a lot of the
principal people in his Oral History Of Unix. He was my thesis advisor. I did not finish
my thesis, but several times in the last few months (not all about Unix; as LSST
construction approaches completion, there’s been some thought about how to make our
project documentation useful for future historians of science) I’ve thought “Professor
Mahoney would be interested in what I’m doing here.”
I’d recommend raising a glass to his memory.
