Garamond does look somewhat Apple-ishly pretentious, and Lucida does evoke associations with Sun and some corporate spirit, and Arial\TNR\CN trio does feel like "Windows font classic" combination.

But banning a more readable font to show you have "decorum" ... there's a word "чмошник" in Russian, I've recently realized I'm that, and also a whole crowd of adults and peers around me 13 years ago. Actually there's just one girl who wasn't that, and one adult. Who got the shortest straws in that story.

That word means someone miserable and envious enough to look for confirmations and signs of coolness in all things they use and do.

I've also recently realized that I don't like computer people, and of other professions dealing with calculation and materiel. They are glorified bookkeepers and managers. The reason tech workers dislike management so much is because the whole industry is much like machine-assisted management. Paradox of small differences.

Yeah, I know you lot like being perceived as magicians and the industry as having something to do with intelligence. Read de Saint-Exupery's Citadel, there's a passage on "a special book for generals", and you will recognize that whole industry, from its lowly brick layers to its prophets.
