It's all relative, or so it appears... however, there is one thing
that perhaps most of us can agree on when it comes to defining what a
"real" computer is or isn't: surely we all know that a "real"
computer
is not some random PeeCee (or larger server wannabee, which is still
probably a Wintel PeeCee deep down inside) running some random
Micro$oft operating system.
But the Wintel adherent prob'ly thinks that his PC is more REAL than some
valve (tube) based mainframe.
