There was a program call "Nero burning ROM". A pun I understood much later

Ah fuck, I remember Nero, and I know why it is called Nero (because Nero and the burning of rome), but I never connect the ROM to ROME.

The logo was literally the colosseum on fire...

Oh I know about that, just the connection of Rom and Rome.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 11 points 9 months ago

Ah, ok. Makes even more sense knowing that Nero is a German company, and the city is literally spelled Rom in German.
