  • really silly and typographically hopeless presentation.
    looks like Knuth is frustrated with his child TeX himself.

  • When you grow up you too will develop a sense of humor, szymon. ;-) And also find the courage to put your name after your comment.

  • I have carefully listened to Don’s talk, and haven’t yet managed
    to produce a useful FAQ answer (working heading “What is Knuth
    doing now?”

    I would welcome any contributions…

  • Clearly iTeX is the new thing.

  • @Robin, as far as i remember he’s working on next volume TAOCP (no, really, he is ;) )

  • Isn’t it funny that William Cheswick also named his experimental iPad app “iTeX” too, apparently unaware that Knuth intended the name for his parody.

  • I was unaware of Don’s talk. The name “iTeX” is inevitable, and I am not surprised.

    The iTeX ipad app is progressing well, and I actually expect to put up a free reader in a month or so in the App Store that I will want to use.

  • This is a nice presentation. A blackboard should have been
    better, that together with a video camera and you have
    the 3-dimensional iTeX.
