i can't deny, for me he is the sir. so: an interview with sir caillau (without royal klimbim, but a beer) at wikinews. enjoy!

At another occasion I asked a representative of France Telecom for his e-mail address. He gave me an X-400 address and I asked for an internet address. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Monsieur, vous ne pensez quand-même pas que France Telecom va soutenir l'internet?" ("Sir, I hope you do not expect that France Telecom will support the internet?"). And all that happened when the web was already a success, though indeed only in the academic world ...

there was an interview also at matrix, a long, long, long time ago ...

i still would like to read bush's work: "science is not enough", 1967. in the meantime i have to settle for richard yeo's article: before memex: robert hooke, john locke, and vannevar bush on external memory (pdf). interesting, though.

always worth to mention in this regard the work of emanuel goldberg.
