This speech from Steve Jobs is hiding in your Mac

You may remember the, "Think different," advertising campaign from Apple. Almost as widely publicised, was Steve Jobs' Commencement address at Stanford University on 12 June 2005. Turns out that copies of both of the above are part of Apple's Pages word processor.

One interesting point raised is that the comprehensive typographic capability built in to the first Macintosh came about because of a course in calligraphy that Jobs never would have taken if he hadn't dropped out of college.

Definitely worth a read:
