It was working fine before. LOL maybe he changed his mind.

I susupect we overloaded the imrl (Interactive Media Research Laboratory) server. The general usu (Utah State University) servers are working fine, but when you click on a imrl link from a USU page, you get the error.

Finally got to the site. It is jawdropping that the author never addressed what he himself demonstrates, how one can so easily get MS Word to make something that lays right over top of the CBS memos. Everything: tab stops, auto-centered headers, every automatically-wrapped word of every line of text.

MS Word remains the best known way to reproduce the CBS memos with any fidelity. In fact, it would seem that the best any typewriter which will ever be dredged up in the future could ever hope to get is a tie, since MS Word does it perfectly now.

In light of the preceding, his claim that it is "unlikely that a digital typeface could have produced any of these memos" is a hoot. He has no better way to replicate the memos than MS Word. I for one don't for a second believe that he doesn't know this.

He may have made the case that the font is a species of the "Typewriter" genus rather than "Times New Roman." I flew pretty fast over that part because he was making a tedious point of barking up a wrong tree. That in fact is his whole game, pretending not to know the bar he would have to clear before he would make a convincing demonstration. He has done what he falsely accuses others of doing, expounding upon irrelevancies and announcing, "Tah-Dah!"
