Oral Histories of Scientific Computing – Maple Founder Gaston Gonnet

I don't know exactly how to title this, but it's a fascinating look into the shrink-wrap software business just a few years ago; network effects and all that. Quote:

"Maple established itself as the leading commercial computer algebra system. However, during the mid-1990s the company ran into trouble and disagreements with his colleagues caused Gonnet to withdraw from managerial involvement. Since then, he feels that Maple has lost its battle with Mathematica. Gonnet also discusses Maple’s relation to Matlab and its creator, Cleve Moler."

(Please, if anyone can fix that title in order to be more informative/attractive).
