Dink
/dink/ 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 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.
