Established where?  Here?  I guess I have not been hanging out here long
enough to know that while the world of set-top-boxes calls the display
that it shows on the TV the OSD, myth folks use that to mean only the
video overlayed portion of the display.

But let's just move on OK?  I will stand corrected and from now on I
will only use OSD to mean the video overlayed portion if that is what we
call it here.  Just so I get my terms correct. what shall I call the
rest of the graphical display?  Can we move on and stop arguing about
syntax now?  There is so much more we can accomplish if we can decide to
be grown up and not bicker about the small things.

But I didn't invent it.  OSD means "On Screen Display".

So now you are going to tell me what I meant by OSD?  You can't just
take my word for it that I mean the whole graphical On Screen Display?

You can with Matrox g4*0 cards too.
