For he who can't help but think of a <$400 computer as being a toy:

You must have thought the original Atari 800 was one mean number cruncher
since it was priced over (?) $1000.  I'm sure glad I bought mine when the
price was still up to $500, or else I would have just gotten a toy.
By the way, I didn't know the hospital ward you're in had access to
electronic mail...
