Look, sometimes the very specific version you want only exists in a format that’s hard to make use of, like a VHS cassette. That’s why we have helpful, talented people with specific sorts of tech savvy to help us out with bringing oldies but goodies into a more modern format that’s still destined to veer into obsolescence after a while. Thanks, Wes!
For those wondering, AAPT stands for the American Association of Physics Teachers.
In this case, anyway. But for a thought experiment, imagine the collapse of Galloping Gertie as narrated by these other AAPT organizations and/or acronym users:
- Association of Asphalt Paving Technologists
- American Association of Psychiatric Technicians
- American Association of Philosophy Teachers
- American Academy of Physical Therapy
- American Academy of Personal Training
- American Association of Pharmacy Technicians
- Android Asset Packaging Tool (AAPT2 build tool)
- International Institute for Animal Assisted Play Therapy
- AAPT Limited (Australian telecommunications company)
- ACTTION-APS Pain Taxonomy from the American Pain Society
- Association of Anatomical Pathology Technology
- All American Pet Company, Inc. (stock ticker symbol)
- Alabama Association for Play Therapy
- Advanced Algebra & Functions Placement Test
Some of those could be really entertaining. Just don’t mention poor Tubby the cocker spaniel to the animal assisted play folks.
