r.s. is a VERY offensive term somewhere in the world (Australia I think),
meaning "rat shit" :-) 

I have received a couple of E-mail replies from IBM, saying they do not
want to see the group named .rs6000

I have also received replies from another company who also produces a "6000"
computer - they would prefer the group to be named something else than .6000
or .r6000

As I said in my original posting - .risc6000 is the safest bet - it is just
a bit long.
