Ben,
No, blank canvas isn't the tool…the paint brush is the tool.
Just as I've stated before, the computer isn't the tool, the software
is. The computer itself is the unmolded clay or the blank canvas as it were.
Add the software (tool) and it can be shaped into whatever you can
imagine…and the computer can hold/do.

Ah….. I bug to duffer wuth you, surrah. <grin>. The machine and the software
is a gestalt, and cannot be separated, in my mind. It's synergy at work. I
maintain that a computer is so flexible, that the software defines what KIND of
tool it is, and not that the computer is the tool to implement software.
