n. [Sun] The largish thin box housing the electronics in (especially Sun)
|
|
|
|
|
desktop workstations, so named because of its size and shape and the dimpled
|
|
|
|
|
pattern that looks like air holes. Two-meg single-platter removable disk
|
|
|
|
|
packs used to be called pizzas, and the huge drive they were stuck into was
|
|
|
|
|
referred to as a pizza oven. It's an index of progress that in the old days
|
|
|
|
|
just the disk was pizza-sized, while now the entire computer is.
