    Hardware is the body, software is the brain.

  • I think you've got that reversed.  The hardware is the brain and the body is the software. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at September 16, 2025 3:25 PM MDT

    Nope. Software is what does the thinking (BRAIN)  in a computer.  The hardware is the physical components of a computer. (BODY)
