I remember hearing that DEC invented the term PDP (programmed data
processor) because they were afraid that if they called their product a
"computer", people would avoid it since real computers came only from
IBM.  Calling it a PDP made it a different type of product, easier to
get past management because it didn't immediately evoke an IBM
comparison.

Once the PDP's became big enough to be considered real computers
(i.e. the PDP-10), they changed the name PDP-10 to DECsystem-10.
