I'm amused by Krantz's report that Wolfram tells us that he has entered one hundred million keystrokes on his computer in the past ten years by way of creating the scientific work that we now read[1]. and the footnote [1] If you send twenty brief e-mail messages per day, you will find that you enter over thirty-five million keystrokes in ten years. If you do things like write books or articles, edit journals, conduct professional correspondence, write reviews, you may find that you actually break Wolfram's keystroke record. Since computer programming and research are also keyboard- intensive activities, I can't help musing on how many keystrokes were entered by the researchers whose results Wolfram has reported.
