"Software" is usually run on computers. But any new device which could run software would be considered a computer, therefore software is always associated with "computers", and there is no need to overspecify by saying "computerish software". However, this argument only applies to tanru and not to lujvo because "The breadth of a lujvo is whatever we say it is." -- "This historic ground in New Mexico, scene of the first atomic explosion on earth...gave the most effective answer today to Japanese propaganda that radiations were responsible for deaths even after the day of the explosion, Aug. 6, and that persons entering Hiroshima had contracted mysterious maladies due to persistent radioactivity." -- NY Times, 12 Sep 45
