Day 17, AD 11


Thank goodness for the Computerphile channel on The YouTube.  Some great videos, particularly the ones about various aspects of computer history.  Spent pretty much most of the day watching them due to feeling out of sorts.

Fascinating history of fonts and how far sighted Steve Jobs was in recognising the power of twinning the Mac with the Laser Writer, and also how Jobs was persuaded to change his mind and pay for better fonts after he'd originally wanted lower quality clones.
