Origin of name: VAX?[]

I couldn't help noticing the rather obvious similarity between the game's ZAX and DEC's famous VAX range of minicomputers from the 1970s and '80s; is this a coincidence or the naming of the series' computer based on the VAX?

Interestingly (or not!) the "command line" of FO3's terminal hacking is very similar to the VAX's DCL user environment, which may or may not be another coincidence (set file/protection=(o:rwed) and set terminal/inquire are indeed valid VMS/DCL commands). --Hedleyc 15:34, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

It was named after a VAX, but the VAX in question was the robot companion in Wasteland. Ausir 15:38, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
