Back in the day, there were VAX minicomputers and VAX vacuum cleaners in peaceful coexistence ...

(Not to mention the Apple music label and Apple Computer.)

Apple and Apple did not exactly co-exist peacefully:

On this note, I can't believe that iOS the operating system and IOS the operating system have managed to get along.
Well, TIL...
