For whatever it's worth, over at _Linux Gazette_ magazine, policy from the
copyeditors (headed by yrs. truly) is that we politely ignore and
correct funny-looking lettercase within company and product names. So,
we correct CorelDRAW! to CorelDraw, nVIDIA to Nvidia, and openSUSE to
OpenSUSE. Not that we have anything against creative marketing people.
