Yes, this comes up every once in a while. I'll add it to the monthly
postings.
Yes, there is a VACUUM named, trademarked, etc. "VAX". I think the
vacuum came before the computer. Either way, both companies know
about the other. They have for a long time. I don't think either
will sue until:
1 -- The vacuum company claims that their VAX runs VMS.
2 -- The computer company claims that their computers... ahem... suck.
If anyone can submit a really good (informative, followed by all the
humor you want) I will put it into the monthly posting.
