Patrons

I wondered who would be the best patron saint of computers or of computer managers. For the latter, I figured St. Barbara(*), although St. Dymphna was plausible too.

It turns out that somebody already worked it out: A scholar named St. Isidore is supposed to be the patron of computers and maybe the internet too.


(*) Patron of artillery men and mathematicians (?). If you wonder how this applies to computers, think of this: I often do.
