Some have excluded some machines hecause they define them as 
"calculators", instead of as "computers".  (Although I would think that 
THAT clearly puts it over the line into "computers")

We already had arguments about whether having the ROM in a cartridge that 
could be unplugged counted.  What if the ROM is on a card inside?
Does it matter whether the ROM is soldered V socketed?

Is a PROM a ROM?  EPROM?  EEPROM?  Non-volatile RAM?  What about BASIC in 
bubble memory?  in COREs?

NOW, we need to clarify the definition of what constitutes BASIC?
Is it really BASIC if Kurtz and Kemeny rail against the "enhancements" 
that have been made to it?
