Isn't her name Mandelete del Barco? I sure don't know the correct spelling
of her given name, but that's what it sounds like to me. For a while, Click
and Clack had an inventory-control specialist by the name of Mandelete del
BarCode in the Car Talk end-of-show credits. I gather that Ms del Barco was
not pleased, because del BarCode lasted in the credits for only a few weeks.
