  Y'know, I have forgotten how much memory it has, and I couldn't find
the manual. All I use it for is straight typing, as tho it were a plain
Selectric. The memory comes into play only when you =justify= the type,
and I haven't done that for 20 years. Cost? As I recall (this strains
the gray matter, so may not be accurate), it was $6,000 back then.
