I have a lot of experience both using and fixing (and running used pigs to the recycler--in Chicago from Ann Arbor) linotype machines. While they are fun and have a nostalgia, they are pretty much useless to anyone who isn't doing custom bookbinding, for example (I'm sure there are still other uses). They do not have a built in spell checker.
