Maybe you can tell us what the "C" stands for?

Callipygian!
(ancient greek: Having a shapely rear end)

True or not, confirmed by Mr Hall on the official forum as the correct answer (to end the endless speculation.....)
I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that the person who guessed right would actually receive a C series Ric as a prize.
You know where to reach me Mr hall!

Congrats on getting what probably amounts to the closest anyone will ever get to being told you guessed the right answer! As he said, "Let's call you a winner..."

How bout Configuration as in 36012C(onfiguration)63 or has someone alreadycome up with that and had it vetoed.

or maybe "Circa" 36012C(irca)63
Circa (often abbreviated c., ca., ca or cca. and sometimes italicized to show it is Latin) means "in approximately" (it literally means "around"), referring to a date.

Billy, if you go to the "official" RIC forum, you will find there a thread that is about 50 pages long and 3 years old containing some hints from JHall regarding the meanig of the C in "C" series, and 1,000 guesses, none acknowledged as correct. One clue is that it is 11 letters long. There may be other clues -- I haven't visited that thread in awhile. If you are intrigued by this riddle, you should check it out.

Congratulations Dan. If I where you just say the C stands for CQQL.
