[comp.sys.amiga] What VLT Stands For

iphwk@TERRA.OSCS.MONTANA.EDU (Bill Kinnersley) (02/28/89)

Joe Smith (jms@antares.UUCP) asks:

  What do the initials VLT stand for?

:-) :-) :-)

VLT stands for "Video Laser Toaster", that revolutionary new output
device you've heard so much about.  It's great in text mode (in fact
I'm eating my words right now).  Graphics mode leaves a lot to be
desired due to the high cost and short supply of HI-RES bread.  This
device will see much wider popularity When Bread Prices Drop.

VLT, properly written with the L below the line, like the E in TEX,
is a terminal program which emulates both VT100 and TEK4014. What it
stands for is undocumented, but I suspect the L stands for the name
of the author, WIlly Langeveld.
