How little you understand marketing. :-)
I still remember when multi-media started to be a buzzword a local office
supplies chain here (Grand & Toy) advertised "multi-media disk storage
boxes." How was it multi-media? It could hold both 5.25" and 3.5"
floppy disks.
A product is what marketing says it is.
