I worked for Digital Equipment Corp in the mid 80s. We came out with the VAX (Virtual Address Extension) computer. Really revolutionary! A real threat to IBM, Sun Microsystem and Hp.

There was a home appliance company in the UK whose vacuum cleaners were called Vax.

Unfortunately for us their commercials said "Nothing sucks like a Vax!". We heard that a lot.
