I think this was the inspiration behind the name of the computer developed by Gordon, Cameron, and Joe MacMillan at Cardiff Electric in Halt and Catch Fire. IIRC Gordon loses his mind from stress and starts digging a huge hole in the backyard during a storm while telling his daughters the tall tale and that's how he decided to name it the Giant.
