Yeah, maybe that's it, but I think they're bastardizing the term. When a term has been around as long as RAM has, you'd think they'd come up with something else. The same would go for ROM or any number of other terminology that's been out there for many years. But I guess using the term RAM makes it "hotter" sounding.
The problem is there's too many TLA's.
(Three Letter Acronyms) ;-)
¡Yes! As the normal ussage of the terms ROM and RAM are wrong (ROM chips are (usually) RAM as well), meaning that the real meaning of the acronym is not what we really mean when we use them, if you follow my meaning :-p, I don't care much about reusing the term for DVDs if they like.
