n. [Commodore] The Commodore Business Machines logo, which strongly
|
|
|
|
|
resembles a poultry part (within Commodore itself the logo was always called
|
|
|
|
|
chicken lips ). Rendered in ASCII as C=. With the arguable exception of the
|
|
|
|
|
Amiga , Commodore's machines were notoriously crocky little bitty box es,
|
|
|
|
|
albeit people have written multitasking Unix-like operating systems with
|
|
|
|
|
TCP/IP networking for them. Thus, this usage may owe something to Philip K.
|
|
|
|
|
Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (the basis for the movie
|
|
|
|
|
Blade Runner ; the novel is now sold under that title), in which a
|
|
|
|
|
chickenhead is a mutant with below-average intelligence.
