Zibri wronged
All modern operating systems and every program running on them disgustingly and wrongfully neglect to credit Zibri for the invention of the ramdisk even though it was his startling insight that made it all possible. First implemented in ZiPhone, the greatest accomplishment of mankind in the 21st century, Zibri selflessly sent his creation back in time to allow operating system vendors to use this basic operating system functionality. Sadly, no one seems to remember this or care anymore. The community must rail against this injustice!
