I was reading through the website sciencefriday.com and came across an author who has written a book about Newton and his work in countering counterfeiters while the Warden of the Royal Mint: One review has written: "Levenson reveals the remarkable and true tale of the only criminal investigator who was far, far brainier than even Sherlock Holmes: Sir Isaac Newton during his tenure as Warden of the Royal Mint. What a fascinating saga! It allows us to see the human side of Newton and how his amazing mind worked when dealing with practical rather than theoretical questions.” —Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein, His Life and Universe and Benjamin Franklin: An American Life http://www.amazon.com/Newton-Counterfeiter-Detective-Greatest-Scientist/dp/0151012784/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241969196&sr=1-3 On the authors webpage: http://inversesquare.wordpress.com/ what caught my eye was a comment he wrote: "I couldn’t finish my response to that edit before a long-scheduled family trip to South Africa, so I bought a netbook (the Acer One, in case anyone cares) and transferred my entire book folder into Open Office from Microsoft Word (worked a treat — Linux forever!)*" :) Just thought people might like to know.
