@Nickiquote if I had time for leisure I would stick with my old fave Palatino, for paper.

@roadskater @Nickiquote I keep going back and forth as to whether your msg means your set your dissertation in Palatino or not? I find it very readable but slightly light in dimmer light. My mom ran a desktop publishing business before it was all electronic and she had these big books just full of font samples. And a light table and nice cutting devices and rulers. And blue pencils.

@jayalane @Nickiquote I think it was set in Palatino. Unfortunately, due to Apple's change in Mac disk drives, I haven't been able to read the original file in like 20 years! So I can't be 100% sure.

If you know someone with a set-up that can read early-mid 1990s Mac variable-speed "floppies", let me know! (At least it isn't on a ZIP disk!)

@roadskater @Nickiquote there is an enournous group of people that maintain that sort of thing on mastodon. #retrocomputing can anyone pull up a 1990s era dissertation from old Mac floppies?

Geographically speaking, where is the floppy?
