Huh? Knuth's "Fundamental Algorithms" came out well after the PDP-10

Hm - yes, I remember he got sidetracked by typesetting problems.
It took a very long time before it hit the bookstores. I think we were
writing MIX-simulators based on mimeographed excerpts, I did not get the
book until long after I left university.
And I suddenly realized I had been thinking of the DECsystem 10, not the
PDP-10. This cold is giving me bitrot!
