The story was published in a serious Japanese business magazine in 1997 (so
it's not after 17 years) and besides, what could Nishi probably aim at by
making up such a story? The fact as I see it is, that the Japanese just have
their own meaning for the 'MSX' abbreviation. The occidental one is
MicroSoft blahblah and the Japanese one is Matsushita etc.
Rieks.
