   Mmmmm, Verityper.  I won a VT600 on eBay a few years ago but never 
did manage to go pick it up. :-(

   That also reminds me, I have a Linotronic L300 phototypesetter in my 
storage locker near St. Petersburg, FL.  It is looking for a new home.  
Any takers?  Obviously you'll have to pick it up.
