    ... a memory chip... that contains a firmware

    Hmm, don't you just mean "contains firmware"...? You don't have "a software" or "a clothing" -- you have a piece of software, or a piece of clothing... "firmware" is likewise plural.

    Excellent point, though.

    Unless you were referring to the soda, "coke" should not have been capitalized. The beverage incarnation hasn't contained cocaine for quite some time.
