I gave up this fight years ago when I saw a high-school Comp Sci
textbook that labelled the computer as a CPU. This wasn't just an
incidental label, either. It was a page that was teaching the names of
all the parts.
It actually makes some sense, if you are familiar with the world of
mini-computers. The CPU, in that case, was usually a separate
rack-mounted box. That knowledge simply didn't translate well to the
micro world.
