Get a real computer!: imp. In 1996 when this entry first entered the File, it was the typical
hacker response to news that somebody is having trouble getting work done
on a system that (a) was single-tasking, (b) had no hard disk, or (c) had
an address space smaller than 16 megabytes. In 2003 anything less powerful
than a 500MHz Pentium with a multi-gigabyte hard disk would probably be
similarly written off. The threshold for ‘real computer’ rises
with time. See bitty box and
toy.
