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.
