Interesting.  I never saw a close up of the templates to see whether 
they are like Ron's, but I can tell you that the templates he has are 
black, not orange (or green<g>..worry not Warren, I practically think in 
colorblind terms since Ron is also red-green colorblind) and that the 
template letters and numbers are upright.  We have a manual, but no box. 
 The manual says nothing about slanted or upright letters.   I did 
notice the picture of the signs on that box did have slanted letters, 
however.
