Capitalisation change
I've been BOLD and moved the page to use a form without internal capitalisation. From memory of British and American magazines, internal caps were used primarily to gloss the abbreviation "RTG" (Amiga Format September 1997 p. 26, for instance) (compare "RAdio Detection And Ranging"). A quick unscientific count over my magazine archive (OCRed, Commodore- (rather than Amiga-) centric, primarily British and American) shows 123 hits for "[Rr]etargetable" and 14 for "[Rr]eTargetable" (35 and 2, respectively, for "…gettable"). The earliest reference to hand is the 1993 DevCon notes, in which Commodore used "Retargetable Graphics" (in a title) and "RTG" (in a section heading). If there's an earlier use of the term, it would be worth noting; but for now, it looks like CBM might have originated the term.—Dah31 (talk) 04:46, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- comp.sys.amiga.misc show even earlier use of this term (DIG - Device Independent Graphics was also used back then): at least late 1991 [1] According to this post, retargetable graphics (there as ReTargetable Graphics) was term prefered by Commodore. As of capitalisation change, current name is OK. Pavlor (talk) 06:25, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- There was an introductory article in the 1991 (Denver) DevCon notes, too. The table of contents uses "Retargettable Graphics", while the article title and body use "Retargetable Graphics" once and "RTG" thereafter.—Dah31 (talk) 00:17, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
- Nice find. DevCon 1991 was in the first week of September. There are even earlier posts on usenet, but this is as close to Commodore´s first official use as possible. Interesting to note (as you pointed out), even there this term is not used in the same form in the entire document.
