calculator

    (Or "calculator") /bit'ee boks/ A computer
   sufficiently small, primitive, or incapable as to cause a
   hacker acute claustrophobia at the thought of developing
   software on or for it.  The term is especially used of small,
   obsolescent, single-tasking-only personal computers such
   as the Atari 800, Osborne, Sinclair, VIC-20, TRS-80
   or IBM PC, but the term is a general pejorative opposite of
   "real computer" (see Get a real computer!).

   See also mess-dos, toaster, toy.
