>>OK...here's a UNIX geek's two cents worth...
>>"Engine" is the correct term to use in relation to computers, even though
they
>>are electrical devices. A couple hundred years ago, Charles Babbage
designed
>>the "Difference Engine", a hand-cranked computer for performing
calulations.
>>It used punched cards for programming and binary math.
>>Earlier in this century, the "Turing Engine" was another theoretical
computer.
>>In today's terms, a computer "engine" is a semi-autonomous process, often
used
>>in databasing or modelling (ie.- sim physics engines).
