Save KNVTn! Before it's too late

You know, I'm more that a little worried that the works of KNVTn will be lost in time, and historians of the future will have no record of this brilliant thinker.

Possibly the only genius who can challenge the genius of KNVTn is that master of computer science, DE |(nuth.

Unlike thinkers of bygone eras, I guess KNVTn and DE |(nuth are lucky that they live in an era where the marvels of OCR technology can be used to perfectly preserve their works for all time, without their mighty shadows being usurped by popularist hacks, like that pretender Knuth and his ilk.

The Real Knuth pays 0x$1.00 for any errors you find in his books.

If he paid the same for any errors you find in OCR versions of his works, he'd be bankrupt.

Knuth's legacy is safe but there will probably be lesser writers who will be unfindable due to errors in OCR.

It's really quite sad.
