n. Said of a machine that has the
bitty box
nature; a machine too small to be worth bothering with -- sometimes
the system you're currently forced to work on. First heard from an
MIT hacker (BADOB) working on a CP/M system with 64K, in reference
to any 6502 system, then from fans of 32-bit architectures about
16-bit machines. "
GNUMACS will never work on that dink machine."
Probably derived from mainstream 'dinky', which isn't sufficiently
pejorative.
