The Last Show - Parallel Programming Talk #130 - Parallel Manifold with Jim Dempsey
It was sad when "Friends" ended, and who can forget the endings of "MASH" and "Jerry Seinfeld"? So it goes with ISN's "Parallel Programming Talk" show. Our last show was a fitting end to 130 radio and Web TV programs about all things Parallel.
