"Computers" are little troll like people who run around on messege boards trying to derive responses from people they secretly worship. They generally need attention from others to feel good, and are real life loners and suffer great spells of depression. Some people ignore them, others make whitty humor, yet other confuse themseves by replying. Its great fun to catch computers, in fact most of my life consists of studying and attempting to catch and battle my computers with other computers. Maybe one day I will be a computer master. But I can only dream. Gill Bates is the current Computer Master, although everyone says I'm the next Gill Bates... Hope this helps

A computer does millions of instructions (or mathematical formulas) per second. Some clever people make use of this to make your computer screen dazzle you. That is just one example of what a computer does. :cool:

... one who computes, whether organic or synthetic ... the former is less common now than the latter.
