I've always thought about it as the way the software and hardware talk to each other.

It'd be really interesting to know ages of people who already knew this and those who didn't.

BTW, already knew it, 58. But then, I remember computers from the 80s and earlier that had the entire OS set in firmware and were not updateable.

38 and I thought firm meant company. Like the firm that created the software for the hardware.
