Hello Arnold,

Thank you for sharing that link. I actually sneaked a peek at some of the article but realized, as you suggested, that I should skip straight to the video. One of the most enjoyable 100 minutes. 

Mr. Kernighan just has a way of communicating that I my brain latches onto. I found it interesting that the calm and collected presentation of information that lured me into "The C Programming Language", in college 38 years ago, endured in this verbal presentation. I loved his sense of humor also.

How lucky are the students at Princeton who get an opportunity to go to one of his lectures, regardless of the subject!

Best regards,

Cameron
