Canadian computing pioneer interviewed

At the Canadian IT Manger, a 28 minute interview with Professor Emeritus Calvin "Kelly" Gotlieb was posted today. Gotlieb has been involved with modern computing at the University of Toronto since 1948, when he was hired to help build an electromechanical relay computer for the new Computation Centre. While that project fell through within a few months, he had already begun to supervise both a mathematical team of human computers in the Centre and an engineering group determined to build the first electronic computer in Canada. For the rest of his storied career he has continued to lead Canadians in the application of digital computers, all of which is discussed in the interview, available as an mp3. Link
