I thought that maybe we could reverse the acronym..
VCF FCV.. Like "Fundamental Computing Vault" or "First Computer Vault". I don't know that it flows. Both F and V are hard letters to use. (Thanks to
thesaurus.com)
Maybe a tag line in latin? Corpus Ordinatralis Antiquitum ( http://www.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/wordz.pl?keyword=+corpus+ordinatralis+antiquitum
)
An vintage language for vintage computers?
