                Before TONI R. SCHEINER , ERIC GRIMES, and                                                       
                RICHARD M. LEBOVITZ , Administrative Patent Judges.                                              
                GRIMES, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                             


                                           DECISION ON APPEAL                                                    
                       This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 involving claims to a                             
                computer comprising specific data.  The Examiner has rejected the claims as                      
                obvious.  We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 6(b).  Because we agree                         
                with the Examiner that the patentability of a computer does not depend on                        
                the data stored in it, we affirm.
