    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.

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

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

      I still have a copy of Nero Express on a DVD in my bookcase.

      Not that I use it very much - if I ever need to burn an iso Ill use xfburn or brasero or something like that, as I run Linux now. It’s more if I need to burn data onto disk’s to get it off an older PC.
