dink
/dink/ , adj. 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. See macdink.
