Honeywell must have had some freewheeling marketing dpeartment at
that time. It's probably been brought up before, but at about the
same time (1966), Honeywell commissioned cartoonist Rowland Emmett to
create a "Forget Me Not" computer:

(1966, coincidentally, was the same year that "Star Trek" hit the
little screen. It wasn't much liked by managment but was put on the
air as a vehicle to promote NBC's color television broadcast. NBC's
owner, RCA, was the largest manufacturer of color TVs at the time)
