[BC] Model names - was National NC-121

[Harold Hallikainen]

I used to run a Heath DX-60, then moved to a Viking Ranger and a National
NC-300. Long time ago...

I heard that the reason Intel moved from numbers (like 80586) to names
(like Pentium) is because you can trademark names, but not numbers...
