Good, then try to understand, rather than nit-picking at terminology, sending the discussion off on an irrelevant tangent.

A strange statement from a person that is trying to twist the meaning of the word hardware to mean only a complete computer system and one who seems to be arguing source code is not software. Nit-picking is in the eyes of the beholder.

No, to include a complete system. You seemed to think it only meant components.

and one who seems to be arguing source code is not software.

When I said you could start getting freaky semantic, I didn't expect you to accept the offer. I was just showing how semantics can obfuscate an issue so far that you can't argue the original point anymore.
