[sdiy] Moog: The Unit

[Scott Gravenhorst]

I'm curious, it's only 4 characters.  What is this effort to obfuscate
something that is quite simple: Volts/oct = Moog, Oct/volt = Goom ????



What am I missing?  Spelling it out also gives the most credit and honor
 to Mr. Robert Moog as well.


I think "so what" if other units have abbreviated forms.  We really don't
need it.
