...Astra 2100U and Astra 2000U (each sells for $129, street price). I assume the UMAX folks sent along the 2000U to demonstrate the obvious superiority of its brother.

There were a lot more: BAE, BLS, DPI, ECC, EHFA, EIB, FCIC, FDA, NIC, NPPC, OADR, OGF, OCR, OLLA, OSRD, SCS, SSB, SSS, USSS, USES, USIS. Hardly a man was now alive who knows or needs to know most of them. If he did, he could not find them.
