1. A computer sufficiently small, primitive, or incapable as to cause
a hacker acute claustrophobia at the thought of developing software
on or for it. Especially used of small, obsolescent,
single-tasking-only personal machines such as the Atari 800, Osborne,
Sinclair, VIC-20, TRS-80, or IBM PC.
2. [Pejorative] More generally, the opposite of `real computer' (see
{Get a real computer!}). See also {mess-dos}, {toaster}, and {toy}.
