So why do
*you* bother drawing a distinction between the two if toys are a
valid use? A computer is a computer, no matter what it's used for, right?
techweb defines "computer" as:
A general-purpose machine that processes data according to a set of
instructions that are stored internally either temporarily or
permanently. The computer and all equipment attached to it are called
hardware. The instructions that tell it what to do are called
"software." A set of instructions that perform a particular task is
called a "program" or "software program." > I use my C-128 because I am an ornery, stubborn,
retro grouch. --Bob Masse
Who is Bob Masse?
He was on comp.sys.cbm for awhile but I haven't seen him recently. Another
Inland Empire Commodore guy along with Todd Elliott and myself.
