Many years ago, Sun Micro made a workstation using the Intel 80386
processor, and they called it the "386i". We all thought it was
very BMW-liked, but we were sure BMW will never make an engine that
large for the 3-series. :-) In the case of the 386i, I am sure
Intel granted them the license to use the "i" because it did
identify an Intel product. :-)
