     @thomasfuchs memories are weird. I can see the guy's head bobbing and hands moving like he's playing a piano piece

     @thomasfuchs
     That's one of my favorite things about the Colombo series: the contemporary technology of the time weaved into the plots. Not all episodes used it, but quite a few (the best ones) did.

     The very first episode involved a punch-card programmable phone.

     Was the document in upper and lower case?

     "Orator" is an upper-case only font.

     @thomasfuchs I love also how back-sweat led him to the typewriter.
