Wouldn’t that mean most servers aren’t computers? Not to mention the DOS machines I grew up with, or everything made before the Xerox Alto?

Not going to disagree with you there. But that doesn’t make it not-a-computer.
- nkkollaw 8y agoThose are servers. If we want to classify devices, we need to group them somehow. Otherwise we call them devices and call it a day.
- icebraining 8y agoServers are still computers. We already classify them: smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, servers are all groups of computers.
- zingmars 8y agoHis old DOS machines certainly weren't servers. Not having a GUI does not make a machine a server and having a GUI does not make a computer not-a-server (especially since we have graphics chips inside CPUs now).
