Steve Jobs "you're full of shit"

For anyone who has attempted to read even one of Donald Knuth's books (especiallyThe Art of Computer Science) they will understand the humor of this.

Quote:

Steve had managed to get Don Knuth, the legendary Stanford professor of computer science, to give a lunchtime lecture to the Mac team. Knuth is the author of at least a dozen books, including the massive and somewhat impenetrable trilogy "The Art of Computer Programming." (For an amusing look at Knuth's heady self image, and his $2.56 reward program, see http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/books.html )

I was sitting in Steve's office when Lynn Takahashi, Steve's assistant, announced Knuth's arrival. Steve bounced out of his chair, bounded over to the door and extended a welcoming hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Professor Knuth," Steve said. "I've read all of your books."

"You're full of shit," Knuth responded.

They are extremely difficult books to read and unless you were really really into computer science you probably wouldn't read them. There's a quote on the back of "The Art of Computer Science" by Bill Gates that says something to the effect of "If you can read this book, give me a call. I have a job for you."

Steve is ok on technical things but he's more of a sales guy. Woz was the technical wiz.
