originally printouts of my junior project in computer graphics where I 
"invented" a cursive alphabet (stroke) which required a hash table 
(straight out of Knuth) to look up appropriate "joinery" between various 
Cap and lower case letters."

It's heartbreaking to browse through those old catalogs and technical
manuals.  Full circuit diagrams -- machines crafted by hackers for hackers.

P.S. Brush with greatness:  I have a copy of Knuth's seminumerical
algorithms which was once owned by Brosl Hasslacher.
