It’s short for “visual operating system” but there are no screenshots anywhere. That would have felt off even in 1997.

Maybe they mean something else by visual.

Around 1997 I learned the concept of RTFM! Obviously my father already taught me to look in the DOS and WordPerfect manuals to learn about features and commands one might use. Great learnings.

Oh and:

Lessons. The word is lessons.

		Haha, have you missed your etymology and poetry classes? A lesson is something you learn. A learning is an act or experience. A joke telling someone of when you’ve learned to RTFM is intended to feel like a yoke.

In the homepage there's literally a link on the top bar called "Screenshots"
