Unless you hold it up to a VERY bright light :-)  The sticker is sized
to virtually exactly cover the Owl logo (on the left) and the lettering
(in the normal style, about 4mm high) MICROCOMPUTER SYSTEM to the right
of that- much like the front of the Disk Filing System User Guide.  I
assume Aunty thought it was too expensive or unlikely to be bought by
home users, or something of the sort, so it got branded "Acorn
Computer", like the ADFS and Econet guides.
