Modern computers store their BIOS in flash which is Non-Volatile RAM, or NVRAM, meaning that the contents of memory is retained without power. Your computer's BIOS used to be stored in EPROM, a UV-erasable type of ROM.

Our calculators may have NVRAM, but it shouldn't be referred to as ROM.

Well, I appreciate the correction. Thanks again. (and yes, it makes sense, ROM is a bit misused in common usage)

Wikis are great, Contribute :)
