when you wrote that.

Could you list these "untenable positions" because I don't think there are any?


This one:


The physical media are referred to as "software".


That's not an untenable position, it's the correct one. I later clarified it to mean media with content. Are you unsure about what has been discussed?


This one:


"Software" has *always* referred to media....long before computer software was even a concept.


Hardly untenable, since as the discussion progressed I didn't maintain that position.


And this one:


I'm signing off now.


That's semantics and nothing else. First you need to define "untenable" and then you need to admit how it fits you to a T.


Those were the three I pointed out, and that you still haven't defended.


Are you one of Derek Janssen's sockpuppets perchance? That would explain a lot.


I don't understand the question. A movie is a movie, a piece of media is a piece of media and a movie on a piece of media is a piece of software.

So you admit that downloads are software. Good.

No, because there is no medium in a download.


A download is downloaded *through* an internet connection, which is a
medium, and *to* a harddrive; and as you said, "I do consider the hard
drive that you're downloading to as the storage *medium* to be used"


Uh, no. Transmission medium and storage medium are two different things. Did you know that when I store something to a CDR or DVD-R that the computer bus is the transmission medium. Hey, can you please post your photo so we can determine if you're stupider than you look?
