OK, F.A. Porsche is Ferdinand Alexander Porsche III, otherwise known as "Butzi". He's Ferry (Ferdinand Alexander Jr.) Porsche's son, the grandson of Old Man (Ferdinand Sr.). Just so you're clear here, the Old Man brought us the VW Beetle, and a ton of Auto Union and Mercedes cars in the pre-WW2 era. Ferry brought us the Porsche car company and with it the Porsche 356. Butzi is the designer of the 911 (his first "whole car from the ground up" project), the 904 and several of the other classics. Butzi left the car company in the 70s and started Porsche Design, going back to the original family business of being a design consultant and consulting engineer. Porsche Design has been involved in a whole ton of stuff that they don't put their label on, and some that they do. Many of the things with the Porsche logo on it were originally designed for someone else, who decided not to use the design, leaving Porsche Design clear to use it themselves. I'm pretty sure that the laptop came via this channel. Stan
