Being a computer is more than simply having a programming language   if
so,  Windows 2000 doesn't even include QBASIC any more....!!!

I think its more that the machine will be positioned as a home
entertainment computer because it will have a hard disc, ethernet
connectivity, printers etc.  (see a recent Edge on the Tokyo Game show),
as well as having USB and i.Link.

Basically the PS2 is pretty much like a VAIO from a "black box"
perspective.
