""It's a fricking computer!""

No it is not...

And that is the problem. What's needed for a computer is more than RAM and a processor....

You need an input/output device...

Here is the definition of computer:
" noun
1. a programmable electronic device designed to accept data, perform prescribed mathematical and logical operations at high speed, and display the results of these operations. Mainframes, desktop and laptop computers, tablets, and smartphones are some of the different types of computers."

You called the ARM processor board a "system." You use this as a tool to denigrate the importance of the other hardware involved.

A system isn't a system, until you include an input methodology, and a way to view/display the output: (exactly in the def. above). I agree that the processor, and the act of processing is the "heart" of the system. But it isn't the COMPLETE system.

You cannot "use" the processor board without an OS, input/output as described in the above def.

These are indisputable FACTS.

Finally, a system may first be designed starting with the processor, or, - in the case of the microRendu, - the power/NIC/USB output board may designed first with the plan of using the ARM processor board later.



"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
