i don't have any reference to point to, but just from memory, it seems
to me that a 'bitmapped image' originally referred to an image that was
represented as a bunch of bits (one or more per pixel). This was as opposed
to a display list or vector representation, or  alphanumeric codes to
represent a text image.
