I dont know if ALLIS was the first to coin the two letters together - XT - but its really catchyy on the 190 tractors , I read somewhere they wanted to use XP for xtra power , but XT was chosen ?? Case uses it on there skidloaders, Burger King uses it on there great burgers , and I bought a cheap stick on the dash digital clock at Walmart the other day and its got XT on it !!!! Any where else ??

It kinda sounds like EXTREME! That's why I think lots of products get labeled that.

IBM's second PC was an IBM XT.
We have a worskstation here at work that is referred to as the XT, refers to it being a text workstation.

That IBM XT was named for "extended technology". That from my memory when it was announced.

In Swinford's book, he states the XT did not stand for anything, they just liked the sound of it.
