Okay everybody who thinks the TI calculator is no computer raise hands
please!!!
I think cpu is a (_very bad_) TLA for (IBM-compatible) PC.
PC is an abbrevation for Personal Computer ya know... And my MSX2 is a HC:
Home Computer. And my MSX2+ computer??? A HPC: Home Personal Computer.
Really!!! It's on the case... Anyways, my point is that there are probably
lots of computers which are also Personal Computers or at least can be
considered to be, but are not IBM-compatible.
Anyways using CPU for PC is absolutely wrong, because 1. the z80 (which is
inside the TI-82/83/83+/85/86 calcs -and my MSX-) can also definately be
considered a CPU. And a very good one too! And old... did you know it was
made in the 70s??? And 2. a computer is something _entirely_ different from
a CPU, which is only a part of the computer (a quite important part, that
is).
