FYI guibo is pronounced joo-boh. Not gwee-bow it’s named after the inventor.

Thanks - that will surely save me some embarrassment at a future cars and coffee!

Incidentally, I just had to look it up, and it turns out the spelling is 'giubo' and not 'guibo', the inventor being Giunti Boschi. Wonder if we'll ever see that one on Jeopardy.
