That’s just too cool! Not only Groo, but but some old, almost museum-worthy technology. Years ago, I worked for a printing company that still had some letterpresses and some old hot metal type machines that they used very rarely. I just love all that old stuff and used to spend time wandering through the back room looking at all of it and getting stories from the old pressmen. Anyway, it’s cool that you have them. Treasure them, as I know you do.<BR>
