Sorry.  According to my 1977 General Instruments Semi. division
(Microchip's corporate predecessor) databook, it was orginally 
Programmable Intelligent Computer, but a few years later mutated 
into Programmable Intelligent Controller.

Back then they were NMOS with a factory programmed ROM and therefore
were nowhere near as popular as the later CMOS EPROM versions.
