I wouldn't expect that New Yorker readers know what Fortran is.  Surprised
they didn't just make it Windows.

As if this list wasn't crowded enough already.

cartoon: "How to Avoid Spring Fever", by Roz Chast
magazine: The New Yorker, 23-May-2005

panel caption:
   'Read a long, boring book - preferably one 
    that makes no sence to you at all.'
book title:
   "Teach Yourself Fortran"

Pretty long reach by Chast here --
but a check actually shows a surprisingly long sales life for Fortran books
written in the last 15 years.

I know spring ended yesterday, but just spotted this
