[NTG-context] OT: interview with John Warnock

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hi, I came across this interview with John Warnock (founder of Adobe and 
developer of PostScript):

https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2023/08/102738759-05-01-acc.pdf

Maybe you already know it. And there’s probably a video version.
While the first half about his personal history might not be that 
interesting, “how computer graphics came to be” surely is (a simulator 
for ship pilots played an important role).
And there’s a side blow to Don Knuth that his approach to fonts was 
wrong. ;)

Thank you! I got the link to the first part on Mastodon and didn’t want 
to read even longer, so I didn’t look for more… ;)
