[Excerpts from the Computer Stupidities page follow:]

"Memory? Is that the RAM stuff?"

"I just had 60 more of them RAMs installed..."

"That was some cool RAM in there. Pentium makes the best RAM, not like that cheap RAM other places got!"

I honestly don't know quite what to make of this web site that I found earlier today (following a link from Ars Technica). It promotes "RAM", using the term like "Nike" or another brand name.

It's by a group called the Council on Computing Power. Do these guys *really* think that this is the most effective way to educate consumers about the performance benefits of adding memory to their computers? Have some especially STUPID marketing-types just really, really latched onto the term "RAM"? Were massive amounts of carcinogenic substances involved in the production of this web site? I leave it to the readers to decide.

Iss "what the HECK do a fat guy in a swimming pool and a bunch of martini glasses have to do with RAM?" achar
