Well, if you want to compare apple-to-apples, it's International
Business Machines Corporation versus Digital Equipment Corporation.

So, if "equipment" is DEC's middle name then "corporation" is the
surname.  That makes IBM's surname "corporation" as well.

Therefore, IBM's middle name is really "business machines".
