Ah...yes VW did make a model known as the Cabriolet.  (The current version
is known as the Cabrio.)  Porsche also makes 911 Cabriolets.  Cabriolet
means a convertible with a padded top.  (The Miata's top is not padded,
thus it is not a cabriolet.)

Apoligies for injecting automotive stuff into a computer list.
Maybe we should replace the engine management computers with Alphas
running NetBSD?  :-)
