OB_CC_Trivia: 1) Was the font of the IBM PC with or
without serifs? (90%
answer incorrectly)
I don't know, but I've never liked the look of the "PC" font. In
particular, I
find the A very irritating. It begins with straight vertical lines, then
suddenly comes a pyramid. Very ugly.
The Amiga "Topaz" system font had serifs in OS 1.x, whereas 2.x and upwards
was sans serif and similarly, the A had evolved from an A with straight
slanted lines into a rounded variation of the IBM theme.
2) What was the primary complaint (other than not
being enabled) about
the lower case in the original models of the TRS-80?
The TRS-80 never was a success around here. The only Tandy computer which I've
ever seen in person was that flat, portable thing, rebadged by the
telemonopoly.

Getting TV from Iraq at all is kinda cool - you can get propaganda in English
at 1900 BST, and see the guy with the moustache almost any time. When they
show anime it's even cooler...
