The approved branding was StorageTek, and employees were instructed that "STK" was an NYSE stock ticker symbol, not to be used to identify the company in either external or external communications. Predictably, some StorageTek employes were careless and misused "STK", even as some IBM employees have carelessly misused "USS". I hope that you are fair in pedantry, recognizing that neither informal use constitutes official approval.
Later, under Sun and Oracle ownership, employees and management have adopted the casual use with no fear of retribution. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
