No, they don't. They look it, but there's always a fair amount of computation going on to decide things like what IO to do. For example, in a web browser the IO is in reading user input, rendering the display and interacting with the network - but page layout is computation, as is dispatching input. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Society does not owe people jobs.
