toy n. a computer system; always used with qualifiers. 1. `nice toy':
   one that supports the speaker's hacking style adequately. 2. `just a
   toy': a machine that yields insufficient computrons for the speaker's
   preferred uses. this is not condemnatory, as is bitty box; toys can at
   least be fun. it is also strongly conditioned by one's expectations;
   cray xmp users sometimes consider the cray-1 a `toy', and certainly all
   risc boxes and mainframes are toys by their standards. see also get a
