turing machine...who cares?

[z007400b@bcfreenet.seflin.lib.fl.us (Ralph Silverman)]

	the turing machine was rather fully
	defined
		<1942
	and
	reasonably,
		electronic binary digital computer(s)
	postdates this time...

	now,
		it is the
		electronic binary digital computer
	that has become so ubiquitous,
	not the
		turing machine...
	though there may not be universal agreement
	regarding the essential nature of the computers
	we do,  actually,  have...
	frequently these are represented as being
		vonneumann machine(s)
	.
	why is it not more interesting to study the kind
	of
		computers
	we have,  actually,
	than the kind
		we do not
	?
