- I used four letter names, and didn't make any attempts to use more, as I'll
- continue using a number as last digit and there is no way, based on my past
- experience, that I'll ever need more than 9, and if I did, I could always start
- changing letters in the name... the possibilities with four alphanumerical
- digits are rather astronomical... if I were mathematically inclined I could be
- more precise about that.
