That reminds me of when I phoned IBM here in
Ireland looking for software
support for their VM mainframe operating system not too many years later,
sometime in the early 1990s. I spelled out every variation of the name
I could think of but they kept asking me what version of OS/2 I had.
I guess by then the circle had turned again.
Did they think that you were saying "P M"?
"PM" ("Presentation Manager") was the OS/2 equivalent of
"Windows"
Tell them that you mean 'V' as in "Venus" :-)
