Subject: I'll have to switch to VIN II, sm

It just seemed like it made sense to me, and none of my reference books say one way or the other.  But I have a question, when I now google "CIN II" and "CIN 2", I get many more references for roman numerals rather than numbers.  Do you type this with RN, is BOS incorrect?  Thanks.
