Yes, this comes up every once in a while.  I'll add it to the monthly 
postings.

Yes, there is a VACUUM named, trademarked, etc. "VAX".  I think the 
vacuum came before the computer.  Either way, both companies know 
about the other.  They have for a long time.  I don't think either 
will sue until:

1 -- The vacuum company claims that their VAX runs VMS.
2 -- The computer company claims that their computers... ahem... suck.

If anyone can submit a really good (informative, followed by all the 
humor you want) I will put it into the monthly posting.
