1€ question for the young : whom does EWD stand for, and did he bring
to computer science?
Writing by hand with a fountain pen. Look it up folks!
Seriously? My dad did all of his Theoretical Physics stuff including
the scripts by fountain pen for probably more than 4 decades. And he is
4 years younger than Dijkstra (if you digged up the latter). He still
does for his own work, though he switched to LaTeX for scripts and
articles a few decades ago. I don't know how many bottles of ink and
blotter rolls he may have used up over the years...

FWIW I did all my physics lecture notes for my BSc with a Rotring pen.
