Re: Ah, the carefree days of yore
You do know there's a vacuum cleaner called a VAX don't you?
A long time ago, the two companies producing VAXen[0], met and agreed that nobody was dumb enough to mistake one for the other. Except in the case of the joke "Nothing sucks like a VAX".
0: Except I'm not sure anyone ever referred to multiple VAX vacuum cleaners as "VAXen".
