Thank you for the interview!! I really enjoyed it!
veqq•5d ago
I did too! I'm sorry it didn't get any pick up here, though :(
lproven•5d ago
Ditto. A fascinating read, even if I didn't understand all of it.

Another brilliant techie who became a doctor instead is Dr Cameron Kaiser -- I think he might be @classichasclass here. He runs the last AMOS system on the internet, developed TenFourFox and Classzilla, the Overbite plugin that makes Firefox talk Gopher, and much more. He also compiled the amazing Secret Weapons of Commodore site.

Now this is a nice surprise!! Really happy to know I'm not alone out there! Looks like Dr. Kaiser is also a primary care physician, also a C programmer and also all about owning the computer. In addition to everything you've listed, he's also done serious work on POWER9 which is amazing!!
