Woops, I cannot go to the latest computer store and buy the latest Microsoft CD so I can watch old movie clips and listen to bird chirps, so my computer MUST be a toy, right? Never mind the fact, of course, that it can prepare engineering documents, provide a world class development environment, or provide crash-free server services, a computer must not be capable of real work unless it runs the latest Star Wars game on CD.
