Actually, the lower case would not *necessarily* be required for a 'Moog'.
An example - a dB of course is a decibel. Ever wonder why the B is
capitalized in the abbreviation? The term was introduced by Bell Labs and
named after Alexander Graham Bell, hence it is always capitalized in use.

Petey's).
