Uh, I never said IBM ;-)  I said "a three-letter-acronym" company.
There were several.  The one I dealt with was in Massachusetts, had
a real penchant for three-letter acronyms and used a programming
dialect which was the only single word oxymoron in the English
language (enough hints yet?).

And, no, I wasn't an employee.
