I suppose it would be inappropriate to put on the article page that my blog is at writeonlymemory.com. Oh well. Aaronrp 03:34, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] blackbox = WOM !?

If ROM means read-only-memory and if we see this in a strict sense(no initial "writing"), there would also be no application for ROM. But actually there is. And that's because the value is initialized before going into regular use. Therefore ROM means "initialize once and read only in regular use". Isnt in that sense a voice recorder ("black box") in an airplane something like a WOM ? In regular use(during flight) you would always write to it and never read, however, once the plane crashed you would disassemble it and read it out using different techniques ...
