For what it's worth, my company still operates working Linotype machines to this day and will continue to do so for the next 10 years or so or until we can find something that can do what Linotype machines do so easily and quickly.

I've read all the memos and such and my thought was...

I could probably reproduce the memo with Linotype slugs, centering and all.

So, how many linotype machines did the Texas ANG have for typing memos? I mean, you only need a machine, a hot-lead re-melter, some antimoney and tin supplies and a willing operator. I mean, the machines, depending on common models like the Monarch or Comet, weigh in at about 2 tons, and need a handful of mechanics. Didn't every office have one? (bwahahaha)

CBS reminds me of the Black Knight Scene in The Holy Grail.

Lying in direct contradiction to the prima facia truth.

"...a flesh wound..."

LOL, it does sound like the DNC is being run by Monty Python.
