Cool. But what both you and Oxford fail to understand is that I'm not
arguing that the iPhone is a piece of junk. I don't know, I don't care, and
I don't want to see five gazillion messages about the iPhone in the VZ or
Sprint newsgroups.

PostScript was and still is an Adobe product. It IS an open standard, but
it's a page definition language originally designed by, and still maintained
by, Adobe. Newer Macs can display TrueType/OpenType fonts too IIRC, but for
quite some time, Mac fonts were PostScript, and only PostScript.
