Actually the computer only sees a sequence of numbers - Using the ASCII
translation, the sequence 70,79,88 (in decimal representation).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I would add, however, that the general purpose computer was designed and
intended to be used for *general purposes*.
This means that most applications involving plugging existing peripherals into a
general purpose computer and then running software are *suggested* by the
inventors of the general purpose computer. This should throw out a good deal
more of the bogus "computer implemented invention" claims.

Well, then, it sounds like we really don't disagree that much.
I would put most of what you are talking about under the
rubric of "practical utility"[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
