[SGVLUG] Unix Video

[Jess Bermudes via SGVLUG]

The AT&T Tech Channel that the video is hosted from is a treasure trove of
all sorts of old videos from AT&T and the Bell days.

Here's a short informational film that was produced to introduce people to
Bell's new "Dial Telephone Service":

And here's another video showing how the actual system at the central
office completed the calls:

Brian Kernighan has also done a couple of videos with the Youtube channel
"Computerphile" where he's talked a bit about his time at Bell and the
philosophy behind Unix pipelines:

Computerphile is also a pretty good channel in general. They have various
videos on different topics in Computer Science and makes a great resource
for people beginning their journey into CS.
