I would spell that nickname for a computer as "puter" or "'puter". Thanks for the advice but that would depend on how you pronounce it right? :-)) I always thought a ‘putter’ was what a golfer used to tap a golfball into a hole on the green. The context gives the word its meaning... My kids used to spell like that, but they grew out of it. Noted... -- teleportation kills |

Here is the nub of it "considered". "Considered" by who? Apparently by you. everyone other than you considers a camera lens to be a camera lens, not a computer. What a silly statement. nothing silly about it. Dedicated computers are embedded in all kinds of things ranging from GPS to engine management systems. they're not what is considered to be 'a computer'. Not so considered by whom? everyone. Whoever it is hasn't studied them very much. nonsense. do you consider a tv remote control to be a computer because there is a microprocessor in there? Many of them have got a memory, they all have an input, a processor, an output. What's not to like? like it all you want, but it's not what people consider to be 'a computer'. how well does photoshop run on your remote control? by your definition, someone with a medical implant is a computer. the rest of your rubbish snipped. |

Dedicated computers are embedded in all kinds of things ranging from GPS to engine management systems. they're not what is considered to be 'a computer'. Not so considered by whom? everyone. Have you checked? Whoever it is hasn't studied them very much. nonsense. do you consider a tv remote control to be a computer because there is a microprocessor in there? Many of them have got a memory, they all have an input, a processor, an output. What's not to like? like it all you want, but it's not what people consider to be 'a computer'. "consider" once again. how well does photoshop run on your remote control? About as well as Photoshop can process CATSCAN data. About as well as as an iMac can process the data output of the Large Hadron Collider. https://home.cern/about/computing by your definition, someone with a medical implant is a computer. Nope. You are trying to put words in my mouth. the rest of your rubbish snipped. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
