WEAK.
I can reads upside down AND backwards. You fail!
Typesetters RULE!
Bwahahaha! I didn't know there were any of us left. My first job was as a typesetter. I believe I may be among the last generation to have set hot type. The high tech typesetting that came next was phototype on big reels attached to mainframe computers. One reel per font. The keyboard looked like something from the deck of the original Enterprise. The reels would rock back and forth as you typed, rotating to the letter that you had punched in, exposing the negative image from the reel onto photosensitive paper, which you then had to unload and feed into the processor in pitch blackness. The woman I worked with had been a typesetter for 30 years. She could set type at 108 words per minute and have no idea what she had just punched in. It was amazing.
