Old Chris, he looked at those flat desolate water-starved islands he landed on, and said to himself:
"On beyond these miserable pieces of land lies I am sure a great continent, rich in minerals, abounding with game, timber, great rivers, and land to house a new order of society (once me and my men get done cruelly exterminating the existing owners).
"And on that great land will run a vast network of pathways and eventually paved roads. And mankind will get real clever and figure out a way to move carriages around on those roads without horses. And one of those carriage designs will come out of Scandinavia, on the far edges of the present known world.
"That carriage design will probably be called a Saab. And the dealers for that carriage line will charge so much for repairs that a clever race of men will spring up, to repair them INDEPENDENTLY of the dealer network - -
The Indies!"
So, boys and girls, that's the story of where the term Indie came from.
