I am surprised DEC has not sued over the reuse of the trademark "VAX".
After all, the beatles were nasty enough to sue Apple when they wanted
to offer a MIDI interface.  Kudos to DEC!

Of course, it could be that Sears was once a DEC VAX shop, got fed up,
switched to Big Blue, and decided to drag the name through the mud
with their marketing folks!
