OT: Classic Floppy Story

I have in front of me the original box for a 5.25" dual disk drive
that was the forerunner of the DEC RK50. (The drive is in my H89.)
The box says:

Another DAM floppy, by T and E Engineering Inc., Another DAM Company.

It looks like they flaunted this DAM stuff all over the place!
