The way the prices are developing, at some point you will be more likely to be able to afford a RAM truck than enough RAM for a decent PC...

    Is there a significance to the RAM part of the name or did they just need to differentiate from DVD-ROM? CD-RW is basically the same thing, right?

    I think it was because people new the terms Read Only Memory and Random Access Memory, so they just grabbed RAM as a buzz word. DVD/CD-RW makes more sense really. Unless they were trying to bring attention to competition of tape storage being sequential access while DVD could be Random Access.
