but I have a 17 inch monitor on a souped up laptop with all the bells and whistles

I'll match my soup against your soup. I may still be using a dial-up connection, but I have Dell's top of the line laptop. <g>

It's interesting that, when you look at them pixel by pixel, the apostrophes are not all alike. The one in "I'll" is very different from the one in "wasn't." The former looks curved and the latter, straight.

This one has the "th" above the line, which typewriters of the time did not do.

Actually, you could do that by rolling the platen -- we used to. But doing that, the th were the same size as the other letters. In the purported memos they were smaller.

you could only do that by changing type balls on a Selectric. Would a commander do that for an internal memo? Doubtful.
