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.
