define "computer hardware" please. Is it the computer itself, or the physical parts in the computer? i'm trying to return a computer that I bought from walmart. I looked at their return policy: http://www.walmart.com/returns and didn't see anything about a computer itself. So I figured i had 90 days to return it. It's been a day over a month since I've bought it. Walmart says that the policy says it must be returned in 15 days. I don't understand this because it clearly says "computer HARDWARE" which is deffinately not a computer itself. Hardware is what is inside a computer. Am i right? umm right. dictionary link says "components MAKING UP a computer system". I dont see how computer hardware IS the computer. Hardware is exactly what the defination says. Components that MAKE the computer. The things inside the computer?

How can I invent and realize computer hardware? I have a very specific idea for a piece of computer hardware that I believe would be very useful. I do not have a prototype, nor do I even know how I would create such a prototype. I would be willing to join a company who manufactures this sort of hardware and work to realize its development. I would also be willing to exchange the rights to the idea for either employment, money, shares or licensing. I do not have a patent (in part because I do not have a prototype) and I have performed a cursory search to see if this concept has been created.
