Hey, I was just skimming Knuth's Art of Computer Programming chapter
where he talks about external sorting. It occurred to me that doing a
massive external sort would be an impressive demo for someone viewing
a collection.
Does anyone here own enough 9-track magtape drives to do external
sorting and multi-tape merge operations? It would be cool to watch a
time-lapse film of the operation!
