Yet you still have no grasp as to the meaning of the term computer.

Yet you still do not understand the basic difference between an actual
computer and a device which is micro-possessor controlled. Amazing.

Hahaha.... that says it all.... a fucking salesman.

The golf thing garners ZERO points as well. Idiots paying far too much
for far too little material value. Try billiards, technodope. Oh...
that's right... you likely do not have the capacity to be precise, which
is what the discussion is all about.

Golf is a fucking joke. Take ANY one shot, do it 100 times, and see
how bad your stats really are.

Take a good, difficult billiard shot or a nice riff on a guitar, and do
it 100 times and see the difference between some dope that learned to
quell his slice and someone that understands the term "precision".
