Between the Triassic and Jurassic period (really in the 1970s), IBM developed a technology known as VTAM (Virtual Telecommunication Access Method). It identified devices and applications as "Logical Units". That is the origin of "Logical Unit Application"... Believe me: I used it. ;-)Also, like I said before, LUA existed as an acronym long before Lua was born. It meant Logical Unit Application, whatever that is.
