 With my limited knowledge, I am on the fence with this one.

My gut tells me to think one way, but I am hoping that my feeling
is wrong.

Would appreciate some thoughts on it.

Kind regards -TT

I would go with real, IBM used S- flips from beginning to maybe 384xxxx--could always be bottom of box if later--the S looks bit dif but may be focus or my eyes-leave it alone is my opinion and smile
