When Monokote came out sometime in the Stone Age it was :

	1. Sticky on the back.
	2. Not as durable.
	3. Had less 'shrink factor'
	4. All of the above.
	5. None of the above.

Anyways, at some point, around the Bronze Age, Topflite came out with
a newer, better Monokote, and called it Super Monokote to distinguish
it from it's sibling.  This is the covering we have all come to know
and love (ok, some of you people can substitute hate).  

Now, in their infinite wisdom, the marketeers who are in charge of
this stuff have decided to drop the Super and go with just Monokote.
If you look through your model rags over the last year or so you
should be able to pick out the point when this happened.  Two
of the three magazines I subscrive to (Model Builder, Model Aviation,
and Flying Models) now just refer to Monokote.  I couldn't find
an official reference to Monokote in Model Builder.

I suppose that 'Super' is not a '90s term.  Maybe it will now become
Rad Monokote, or Narly Monokote.  Either that or they are planning
to come out with a newer, better Monokote and they want to call
it Super Monokote, or maybe...
