Thats to differentiate the "box" from the monitor. I know many people who think when you say the "computer", you mean the monitor. Tell em to turn the computer on and they hit the monitor power button and tell you the computer is "black". you then have to tell them to push the cpu power button as well...
Also amuses me when people refer to the computer as the "hard drive"

Any of you guys have any experience with that cpu?
"Crap" is a bit harsh - but yes, they're certainly not up there with the current Intel or AMD offerings. Great for low-power and/or fanless stuff though. I recently got a Gigabyte Mini-ITX motherboard with 1GHz fanless C7 and a 4Gb CF to use as a boot drive, with the aim of building a silent machine, perhaps for AROS...
