It informs us that he is still programming in postscript. That is in a 
sense amusing in itself I would say. Many people may not have heard of 
nomograms or at least not recently, so it points to an interesting 
concept for some of us. You may doubt the value of nomograms in the age 
of computers and you are probably right in doing so, but most of the 
things here have not much intrinsic value apart from amusement of the 
maker and those that see or read it. I grant that it may have been 
better at postscript.off-topic but p.o-t is good enough.
