It's not mine (sigh).  Actually, you should be able to get Michael
Tiemann to 'fess up.  I thought the car (yes, it is a Maserati) was
silvery rather than light blue, but I haven't looked all that
carefully.  Presumably the folks who do personalized licence plates
don't do "+" signs?

So what *was* Tiemann doing on CA 1, anyway?  And does this mean you
can get rich doing free software?  Enquiring minds want to know.
