Yes, I do remember seeing something that was similar to the
phrase (it was posted at a DEC training facility).  The Vax
in question was a vacuum cleaner (I don't remember the name
of the manufacturer and I beleive it was sold at places
other than Sears also).

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but when I was in England in '84, I thought I
remembered passing by a windowfront where a vacuum cleaner called a Vax
was being sold.  (Or am I confusing it with the VAT?).

Those VAX vacuum cleaners still exist. I've seen several commercials
on Dutch TV last year.

A poster of an ad bearing this phrase once hung in the Small Systems lab
at the U. of WI at Madison.
