Well, I guess there are some advantages to being a beginner with few
pictures worthy of keeping. :)

Seriously, this seems like a great oppotunity to use our high-tech wonders
to put out a database (in the format of the most popular products) of old
and new names. Having written several conversion programs in my time, I
know this is never as easy as it sounds. In the mean time it sounds like
we might have to carry another "little book" that cross references new and
old names. :(
