I have 3 of Bob's (Canadian) "Finger Tip Tuning Devices." When the 
FingerDimple (TM), was announced by K8FF amongst much praise for the 
"original idea" and "brilliant thinking" I had the temerity to mention that 
the idea was NOT original, but was Bob's. I was informed that the 
Fingerdimple(TM) WAS a registered name by K8FF, and any reference to Bob's 
device by that name was incorrect and illegal. So call it what you will at 
your own risk.
