So, "9" isn't just an upside down "6"?
That plus an extra curl-i-que(sp?) that we don't usually use now (We do do the 7 like they did here. Tho't we could write it like that 7, since you can get various letters w/one key, but can't for numbers).Originally Posted by Dennis M. Scott
Interesting!! Thanks.
Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.

I think that you're pulling my leg Scott.....
Back in 1961 when I started school, we didn't have digital style numbers..... they were often rounded e.g 2,3,5,6,8,9..... not many angles there!
I think the author of that link is "playing the angles" with us
Good thing this is in "Just for Fun," because it certainly isn't based in fact or scholarship.
