techweb defines "computer" as:
A general-purpose machine that processes data according to a set of
instructions that are stored internally either temporarily or
permanently. The computer and all equipment attached to it are called
hardware. The instructions that tell it what to do are called
"software." A set of instructions that perform a particular task is
called a "program" or "software program."
