   phone specs say it has a 128GB ROM. whuh. why would you want that much read only memory

     @amsomniac at least originally, the voltages needed for erasing were sufficiently out of the range of normal use, and often you erased the entire thing, and you certainly didn't implement random access read/write on them....so.... 😅

     @roadriverrail I guess an EEPROM was already electronically eraseable and programmable and that's.... not really read only, so....
