Jobs and his danged calligraphy.
Back before Jobs co-founded Apple Computer, typing “71077345” into a dedicated calculator (with an “LCD” style typeface) and flipping it upside down showed a recognizable word. Isn’t that cool?
Now, hardly anyone has dedicated calculators, and the one on my smartphone has a “normal” typeface that ruins the trick.
And with Adobe Firefly creating typefaces now, the “SHELLOIL” days are a distant “let’s get you home Grandpa” memory.
