Trumble / Tribble confusion

Post by ffutures »

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.

Yes, they were Trumbles in the original.. even back then, copyright issues were no laughing matter.. :wink:
