Jargon 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
