Leave ROMs alone and drop double standards

You seem to be deliberately courting controversy in a recent issue (Taking a ROM turn, DW 14 March) – prematurely celebrating the death of the CD-ROM when we all know that many businesses in the UK don’t yet even own a computer with a CD drive (not just a dig at the PC)…
