This begs the question (sic)
Is a TV simply a monitor with a tuner?
Or
Is a Monitor a TV without a tuner?
Answers on a postcard.
When I first started using a PC I missed the fact that a monitor did not have a tuner on it.
I was so used to waiting for my Speccy to load cassette games that I would retune and watch TV for the duration of a load.
So when a PC (in 1990) was doing an install, format or other lengthy process you just had to watch it do it.
