   Nonsense.  You often include earlier messages in threads.  You are =
selective when you do or don't.  It appears that you don't when it =
reflects poorly on you.

   I/O also differentiates between a phone and a PC so what is your =
point?

   My dumb remote control that came with my TV has a general purpose =
CPU.  Is that a PC too?  I think not.  Form factor makes a significant =
difference just like I/O capability and capacity.

  Rubbish. I just dislike massive quotebacks as most people assume that=20
  threading is there for that vs having the entire thread in each post.

  I did make a comparison on CPU power but CPU power is not what makes a =

  mainframe where instead it's stuff like IO etc.

  I'd hate to assume you know something as basic as that though however=20
  one wonders why you used a mainframe if you were simply talking about=20
  CPU power.

  Rubbish. A GPCPU is a GPCPU. The form factor changes nothing.

  Do you have a CPU, RAM & persistent storage? If so what is the speed =
of=20
  the system as a whole?

  Depends on what they do. I have a friend who has installed a computer =
in=20
  his car which plays films, MP3 etc. I believe it's a small cold =
running=20
  via cpu based device & currently runs linux but could run an obscure=20
  operating system called "Windows" & is accessed through either a=20
  touchscreen &/or a bluetooth keyboard.


  I suppose that since it can run "Windows" it should be discounted as=20
  being a computer & instead be classified as an "entertainment
device" =
or=20
  possibly "electronic toy".
