    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.

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