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.
