content: Nice - but the ASCII art schematics on that site are truly painful!

content: On second thought, they seem to not have many actual die photos. Interesting background on the designs though.Curious if all the info was pulled from a book or design logs or what; the hand drawn schematics and notes all seem to be in the same hand.Tim

content: Whoa, your browser is screwing up big time.In fairness, the website only specifies "font: 14.0px Courier;" which is not specific enough for general use (it should also specify a general serif face if "Courier" exactly is not available, and monospace typesetting, as a DIV does by default I believe?).Ugh, the lines are formatted individually too (single line enclosed in p.../p). HTML is like sausage... strike that, I like sausage, and don't at all mind seeing how it's made.Blame:<meta name="Generator" content="Cocoa HTML Writer"><meta name="CocoaVersion" content="949.54">But hey, at least it's not FrontPage!...Tim

content: Oy, my laptop actually has a copy of FrontPage 2003 in its office suite... I swear I've only ever opened it on accident, and closed it quickly and spitefully.Seems like Adobe rarely does anything right (well, since the invention of PostScript, I guess?); that their programs work at all is something of a miracle. That their programs and products are so notoriously unstable and insecure, isn't...The massive breadth of the PDF standard is horrifying to comprehend... The only thing that saves anything, it seems, is that nobody cares to use any of those, ah, "features". Except when they do...Tim

content: Quote from: T3sl4co1l on May 10, 2015, 02:36:14 amFrontpage and Dreamweaver.. a blast from the past. Does anyone still use Dreamweaver these days? I haven't met a web designer that does (I also can't say that I've met too many web designers, either!) I'm no expert in web page design, but any web page(s) I do write are hand-coded (I make use of : ruby+rails, php+codeignitor, python+django, node.js backends, and all the usual suspects on the frontends like SASS for CSS, Bootstrap, jQuery/Javascript, Angular/JS, etc)I'll probably have to add a font mapping from Courier to something I have, although I know I have Courier on my host already (linux, mint, with Chrome browser)If I load a page then change the font I use on the page I can read it fine.. but it's just not picking the correct font automatically for me.
