 If you wish to ensure that OpenBSD runs better on your machines, please do us
 a favor (after you have your mail system setup!) and type something like:
-    dmesg | mail -s "Sony VIAO 505R laptop, apm works OK" dmesg@openbsd.org
+    dmesg | mail -s "Sony VAIO 505R laptop, apm works OK" dmesg@openbsd.org

 can help us even further.  We will use this information to improve device driver
