What I just described is the de facto standard for the simplest computer possible. Pre Von Neumann a "computation" was some poor fellow plugging pegs into holes, or moving beads on an abacus. What the input and output are--is irrelevant. It requires a mind to interpret why the input makes sense in regards to the output. This isn't the same in chemistry or biology at all. > > > > > Matt, > > I am very familiar with the progression of computers. I've worked/studied in IT/High Tech departments for a long time (All total about 25 years(I was learning to program games at 5 and oracle databases at 7 via my mom who was the lead programmer for the State Attorney's Office)) and even got quite a ways into a computer science degree before I decided that the school and the degree program were not for me. So, while I respect your opinion as a highly intelligent individual and have no doubt that your knowledge of computers and programming far surpasses my own, don't throw your shoulder out patting yourself on the back. > - After re-reading this post, I realized that it sounded a touch hostile, which was certainly not my intent. So let me put it another way. I post on this forum and debate on with you gentlemen because I already have a high degree of respect for your intelligence and opinion. Self-aggrandizing statements like "You can argue what a "computer" is, but you'll be arguing with ME--a computer scientist" tend to set my teeth on edge because it comes across as "I studied this in school so I know more than you and I am right no matter what rational arguments you may present". Instead of pride it comes across as arrogance.-Also your statement came on the back of a debate with my biology professor where his personal arrogance had already set my teeth on edge. So, if I cam across as rude or confrontational, I apologize.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
