Thanks! My next question is why do they need the word "Central"? How many processing units are there that it has to be designated "Central"? Or do they have the word "Central" there only so the unit wont otherwise be called a "PU"?

"Central" is a holdover from the days when computers were the size of a room. It's also the brain of the computer ... and a brain is central

These magazines are always over my head. I'm always amazed at all the stuff other people know.
