The “Computer” term relates to a specific machine.  Computer verbs allow for configuring and examining the machine.  This is distinct from but related to the Program which is independent from the Computer.

Computer is the physical or virtual computer/server/machine that the ShofarNexus program is running on.  It consists of one or more processors, memory, one or more drives, one or more network connections, and zero or more displays.
