Cool responses in this thread.

I'll admit that I haven't named my CBM 8-bit computers, except for the
black c128d stuffed with an internal CMD HD and a FD-4000 disk drive. (I
called it Nirvana.)

Anyway, someone remarked about the PETs being named as Sphinxes. I'm sure
that is correct, because one of the earliest, if not the first, users
group in the U.S. was called The Sphinx, and was based in the San
Francisco, California region. Of course, TPUG in Canada beat everbody to
the punch for grabbing the first CBM 8-bit users group honors.

BTW, many users groups have interesting names or acronyms, and ditto for
their newsletters, like MICE for the Miami, Florida area, LUCKY for the
Kentucky region, etc.
