What's inbetween "soft" and "hard"?
FIRM - get it!?!?!?!
Yes, computer people have an odd sense of humor.
By the way, half a byte is a nibble - logical?

RE: Tell me..
I used to use Nibble Copy on my Amiga to pirate my game disks..... *nostalgia*
If anyone thinks Zinga is having a larf...? He's spot on ;)
Firmware = software IN hardware, such as an EEPROM. Basically. But yes, firmware is basically the operating system - but the term 'firmware' suggests that you are not supposed to see it or edit it :P because its SOFTWARE That's WHACKED IN THERE NICE AND FIRM-LIKE...! Its a combination of software and hardware = firmware.
Very well said Zinga :)
