He, at my customer some calls the Alpha installed in 1994 "the VAX"... :-)

But then, they are not *here*. I ment those of use that read c.o.v.
I do not think that anyone here on c.o.v doesn't know what the
(correct) name of the product is...

So sticking to "VMS" when communicating with the world at large,
is just plain silly.
