J’adore dessiner les lézards et les serpents, et j’ai eu l’occasion de le faire en direct dans un vivarium en début de semaine.
Merci au modèle pour avoir été si calme ( il s’agit d’un iguane bleu 🦎😊 ).

But I'll break this off at Koko’s behest. #Koko (born 1971, with a potential span of more than 50 years) is the world’s most studied gorilla, and bids fair to be its most pampered Mac user.

She has an American Sign Language vocabulary of over 600 words. The pet of the #GorillaFoundation, she uses “a standard #MacII enclosed in a special gorilla-proof housing,” constructed of ½-inch polycarbonate for bolting to the floor of her trailer.

Apple's #Vivarium Program has even designed a customized inch-thick touchscreen “to withstand, the 2,000 pounds of force an excited gorilla can potentially generate.”

The problem, you see, is that angry or excited gorillas tend to “run full speed and backhand the object of anger,” and Koko's arm-swing is comparable to “a 10-pound shotput traveling at 100 miles per hour.” No wonder Project Koko helped the team to “a better understanding of human-computer interfaces.”

Some users do get _mad_. (h k) #Byte #ByteMagazine #Anno1990
