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
