Description:
I didn't realize this was a script machine until I was driving home from the Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA, in August, 2023. I noticed it had a "1" key and no red option on the ribbon selector as it sat next to me on the passenger seat. So instead of pulling over to check my suspicions, I just pushed the "W" key into my fingertip as I was driving, and then glanced at the funky impression. Yup! Script 75. Definitely atoned for our my van getting sideswiped moments earlier!
