Apparently, one of the biggest deals is the superscript "th" on the 187th. That wasn't really a function at the time of typewriters, but is an automatic function in today's PC's. Supposedly, a wordprocesser that did that would have cost $20,000.00 when they first came out in the '70s. Unclear if it was available then.
The way I understand it, what cost 20,000.00 was a typewriter that used a proportional font. The superscript "th" was not supported by any typewriters/word processors back then.
