"Nothing sucks like a VAX!!" :-)
I remember seeing that slogan in the 80s, when I was a student in Glasgow.
When it first showed up it was all the rage on comp.os.vms.
And then I got the announcement signs on the side of the Central
Scranton Expressway
here in PA announcing "Coming soon - VMS".
Of course, that turned out to be The "Virtual Messaging System" which I
am sure
people see on their highways every day any more.
