The history of Unix, and Multics and B and C is fascinating! 
Nobody seems to make too much mention that it all started with the Brits. Without Martin Richards BCPL, there would be no B, and perhaps no Unix! :)

My favorite part is how he (Thompson) was able to get a ton of work done when his wife went on vacation during the summer! I know the feeling!

Thanks for sharing these videos - they were _very_ interesting!
