 vt.

   [from the acronym for `Terms Of Service' playing on the verb "toss"]

   then close the account.

TOS

   <operating system> /toss/

   1. {IBM}'s {Tape Operating System}.

   2. The {operating system} of the {Atari} ST range of
   computers.  This range included the 512ST, 1040ST and the F,
   FM and E variations (e.g.1040STE).  Later, 32-bit machines
   (TT, Falcon030 and MegaSTE) were developed using a new version
   of TOS, called {MultiTOS} which was based on {MinT}.

   TOS went through several revisions starting initially as a
   derivative of {CP/M}, but developing into a remarkably
   complete and flexible operating system.  Features include: a
   {flat memory model}, {MS-DOS}-compatible disk format and
   support for {MIDI} and {SCSI} (in later versions).  TOS was
   designed to run Atari's version of the {GEM} {GUI}.

   There is some argument as to what TOS stands for, the main
   candidates being "Tramiel Operating System" (named after
   Atari's head at the time) or simply "The Operating System".

   3. <networking> {Terms Of Service}.

   4. Star Trek The Original Series as opposed to ST-TNG or
   ST-DS9.
