Maybe so, and the VCS was named by marketing guys.
Just thank your lucky stars the registers weren't named by them, too.
A note on the world's smallest VCS.H - when I did Qb on the Atari 800, it
was done on a single disk-drive system where I had the assembler on a floppy
disk AND the source code and graphics. Something like 88K total, I think.
I soon ran out of space, and the code had to have NO comments, NO
superfluous whitespace, and labels were restricted to one or two letters.
That was fun. 5-letter symbols seem, to me, massive.
Cheers
