Random question ... does anyone know the history of why is it called
the "emergency holographic shell"?
The earliest commit that I could find on FreshBSD was this one from
Jordan Hubbard, in 1995:
http://www.freshbsd.org/commit/freebsd/r8828
I also wasn't able to find any reference at all in Diomodis Spinellis'
UNIX history repo:
https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/search?q=holographic
Is it a technical term that I'm not familiar with, or a bit of humor
that has survived?
Or maybe it's an astronomy joke?
