_was_ written in the mid-60s? ... volume 1 maybe. Volume 4 is
currently shown as 'in preparation'. When I first realized that the
work had expanded to 7 volumes I was afraid I wouldn't have the $'s to
purchase the entire set. Now I wonder if I'll live long enough.

Another question is whether Don Knuth will live to complete all 7
volumes! (or even the 5 volumes that he promised 'for certain'). I
recall he was working in the computer lab as a grad student at Case Tech
when I started there in 1958. At that time, he pretty much dominated
the entire computer lab.
