[This would be back in the 1980s]
"Steve [Jobs] had managed to get Don Knuth, the legendary Stanford
professor of computer science, to give a lunchtime lecture to the Mac
team. Knuth is the author of at least a dozen books, including the
massive and somewhat impenetrable trilogy "The Art of Computer
Programming."
I was sitting in Steve's office when Lynn Takahashi, Steve's assistant,
announced Knuth's arrival. Steve bounced out of his chair, bounded over
to the door and extended a welcoming hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Professor Knuth," Steve said. "I've read
all of your books."
"You're full of shit," Knuth responded."
