[Commodore] The Commodore Business Machines logo, which strongly
resembles a poultry part (within Commodore itself the logo was always
called chicken lips). Rendered in ASCII as `C='. With the arguable
exception of the {Amiga}, Commodore's machines were notoriously
crocky little {bitty box}es, albeit people have written multitasking
Unix-like operating systems with TCP/IP networking for them. Thus,
this usage may owe something to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids
Dream of Electric Sheep? (the basis for the movie Blade Runner; the
novel is now sold under that title), in which a `chickenhead' is a
mutant with below-average intelligence.
