RAM v/s ROM

These days almost every saturday mornings are dedicated to teaching. I, along with few more volunteers visit Corporation Girls High School to teach computers. Teaching them is so much fun and educating. We learn a lot in the process of teaching and answering their queries.

After all these days of teaching, I have sensed one thing for sure -- you can neither beat their enthu nor voice. I shout at top of my voice yet find it difficult to compete them :P

I was teaching them basics of computer.. various parts of computers and its usage.. At some point,  topic was diverted towards RAM and ROM. As a dutiful teacher, I wrote it on the board and asked whether they knew the difference between them. I was thrilled to see one promt hand raising.. I signalled her to answer and this is what she had to say about it --

"Miss.. RAM alli A ide ROM alli O ide" (RAM has A and ROM has O in it)

I was spellbound!

lol...I remember the girls' reaction when we introduced them to the "task bar"...they were wondering if even the comp had a bar ;)

Also when one of the volunteers asked the girls as to what does CPU stand for , one girl said "Central Proposing Unit " ...lol..that was the best answer
