Hi Camy-- I have seen the machine, in Hartford, and have seen specimens of type it set at Berkeley. It seems to have been more capable of setting various fonts in various widths and doing fancy typographical tasks, e. g. justifying, than its competitors, but it was so damn complicated and had so many moving parts that it would have required a full-time mechanic to keep it running, unlike the simpler Linotype machine that became the standard for newspaper work for decades (I can even remember the heat and smell and clatter of Linotype machines from when I was a tyro editor, and I'm not that old). It was like Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD, or VHS vs. Beta. The less capable but more applicable technology won in the market. Sam, like many another venture capitalist, just backed the wrong horse. Gerald
