Back in college, it was referred to as the PoO. After the other postings about Amdahl v IBM, I have to laugh because the whole computer department in college was fiercely IBM oriented. And they felt that the IBM mainframe competitors were dishonest (theological problem with a church owned college).
I prefer Pop, but I too worked at Amdahl (Macrocode) and I went with the flow. I’ve also worked for IBM. So it has been interesting.
