[Chapter-delegates] Interview with Nii Quaynor on the BBC World Service

[Alejandro Pisanty]

Mark,

thanks a lot. For some of us, the privilege of hearing Nii recognized and 
speaking about his achievements is surely among the top news of the year.

Interestingly, also at least for some of us, the program you link to also 
has an interview, close to the end, about John Backus and Fortran, which I 
found well worth listening to. So stay all the way, friends, and let's 
also say kudos to the BBC for putting more and more of its programming 
online.
