Opps right you are. I remembered it was one of those computer companies
in the far East that started with an A. I just didn't remember which.

My other car was a long wheelbase Land Rover and there was someone else
early on the list who had a Rolls. We had a thread on that once because
Little didn't apply to either vehicle. So we decided L could be Little
or Large depending upon which vehicle were were talking about. I
probably would remember either if I didn't have both the LR and the TR.
