LOL!....if you try and say Omnus,...it does sound kind of cool!

I guess the correct name is Omnis.

I remember being at Spectrum 1985 in New Orleans (looking for a computer). I had used the word Mcdougal Douglas severl times. I was of course referring to McDonnell Douglas (and in fact always thought it was Macdonald Douglas). At the time I was looking at a machine in the ADDs (mentor) booth, and asking them what they thought about Mcdougal Douglas pick machines......they could not stop laughing.

The cool product that year was some MC68000 "vulture" board running pick. My Spectrum 85 trip was good memory, and not the first time I got the name wrong of a mv product.
