Hi,

Just out of curiousity, I looked at some PowerPatch tapes to
see how to spell "PowerPatch".

I have five (5!) "powerpatch" tapes for 5.5 on my desk:

    Name on tape          What power patch #?

    MPE/iX PowerPatch             2
    MPE iX Power Patch            3            (yes, missing "/")
    MPE/iX POWERPATCH             4
    MPE/iX POWER PATCH            5
    MPE/iX Powerpatch 6           6

Not only is "PowerPatch" spelled 5 different ways (even ignoring the "/"
on PP 3 and the "6" on PP6), the *subtitle* is different on *EVERY* tape!
(PP/iX, POWER PATCH, Power Patch Only, Power Patch/iX, 5.5 PowerPatch,
respectively)

Sheesh.  That's embarassing.

I was just trying to determine the "official" spelling of PowerPatch...
guess I'll just have to decide myself :)

Ok...I've decided on PowerPatch!
