Okay.  Thanks.  That *especially* in the sentence made me think maybe
you were referring to a broader category.

And - another old-geezer gripe from my end.  In the mid-1980's, the
abbreviation craze hadn't taken hold and it wasn't called "Akiba" or
"Aki", it was called "Akihabara".  Just sayin'  :)
