Hi
 Although the machine sitting in front of me can be bought
at Fry Electronics, I am not the only one using it. It is
part of LSF. I just use the display and keyboard part. When
I wish to have a large job done I apply to LSF and it
finds a computer not in use, possibly mine.
 So, is it a personal computer since one could use it that way
or is it something else because of the way I'm using it.
