[COFF] Happy birthday, Donald Knuth!

[COFF] Happy birthday, Donald Knuth!

[dave]

Computer pioneer Donald Knuth was born on this day in 1938; amongst other 
things he gave us the TeX typesetting language, and he's still working on "The 
Art Of Computer Programming" fascicles (I only got as far as the first two 
volumes).

I really must have a look at his new MMIX, too; I love learning new programming 
languages (I've used about 50 the last time I looked, and I'm happy to post a 
list for my coterie of disbelievers).

This was sent to me by one of my old DEC co-workers over the holidays, an
interesting read:   Don Knuth
