Interesting choice for a name.  Wonder if they realize Radio Shack had a
series with that number.

I can just see it now.  "Hey I got a new RS 6000".  "That old Radio Shack
Dog!  Why not get a good machine!"

Actually the RS line started with the Radio Shack 16, and it became the Tandy
6000, but a lot of people still say they have a Radio Shack 6000!
