Dear Helmut!

❝ Wow, what a name. And this in a country where equal opportunities were implemented. To get the sexes balanced was there a “Papierschneider Erich” as well?

NOP. No chance. The name "Erich" was sacrosanct. At least since 1971.

The bloomy name of the "Schreibmaschine Erika" was more or less exceptional. Other equipment was named more via incredible acronyms.

For instance
- KC85 = Klein-Computer from 1985
- BS600 = Bodenstaubsauger 600 Watt
...

Acronyms were omnipresent in the former GDR. It was called "Aküfi" = Abkürzungsfimmel.
