“...and between us and the old English there lies a gulf of mystery which the prose of the historian will never adequately bridge. They cannot come to us, and our imaginations can but feebly penetrate to them.

“Yes, we have a magtyper composer - it's one of the new IBM photo-typing units. It was ordered especially for handling reports, brochures and pamphlets. It justifies lines automatically to any length you specify, even divide words when necessary.

That way, we can use any typer in the plant for input and use the IBM full time for photo-typed output. You could write a letter in your office if you wanted to and get a perfectly justified printout - any type face - off the composer unit. Camera-ready copy.”

“Reality is that external system of influences which come filtered through my sensory inputs as perceptions. It is also that external system of influences which are beyond my sensory range, however, because I cannot perceive them, the are 'unreal' to me. Subjectively speaking, of course.”
David Gerrold, When H.A.R.L.I.E. Was One
