Every tale I've ever heard, it's "Super Woz Integrated Machine" - The 
IWM is the "Integrated Woz Machine". Basically, the SWIM is the "younger 
(but much improved) brother" of the IWM. I've read that the "W" and "I" 
were transposed in order to make a "prettier" acronym - "SWIM" being a 
bit easier to spit out than "SIWM". Either way, they're both Wozniac's 
babies, so the "W" kinda *HAS* to stay SOMEWHERE...
