> So, about this guy. Even without the internet, can he sign up on "Ameritrade" and start earning "interest"? Doesn't he need the extra "money" to order "pizza"? And is his computer an "IBM" or a "macintosh"? Or "neither"? An old "Apple" or "TI"? Or maybe one of the el-cheapo web "machines"? Does it have any "Microsoft" software on it?

Nope. No "Ameritrade", and he can't earn "interest". He has "money", but he can't buy "pizza". It's not "IBM" or "Macintosh". It could be a "Compaq", "Dell", "Aptiva" or many others, but not "TI". It has no "Microsoft" stuff on it.
