I was just looking at the Wikipedia article on Tribbles and noticed that someone had said that there were Tribbles in Elite.
Am I right to think that even in Elite's earliest days these were Trumbles, not Tribbles? I've edited the article accordingly, but if I'm wrong it will need to be changed.

Re: Trumble / Tribble confusion
Yes, they were Trumbles in the original.. even back then, copyright issues were no laughing matter..
