When I learned why it was called "Nero Burning ROM", I didn't even have an optical drive anymore.... Ü

Although in german ROM as in CD-ROM is pronounced with a short O, while Rome has a long O

Edit: because emperor Nero is famous for having burnt down Rome

My first job was to use Nero to burn CDs everyday. I used that pos 6 hours per day, everyday, for a whole year.

 I never once stopped to think why it was called "Nero burning ROM" or why was its logo a burning Coliseum. It took me 13 whole years to learn its meaning.
