Please don't flame me too badly for posting this: My wife and I were walking through a Sears store recently when a salesperson tried to stop us to demonstrate a new vacuum cleaner. It is called a VAX! I stopped, and stared, and asked, "is that spelled VAX?" (i thought maybe the X was a K). I asked if they cleared that name with Digital Equipment Corporation but he didn't know what I was talking about; I guess I didn't really expect him to. So he started to tell me that it's from a British company, etc. I had heard enough. And by now, so have you.
