/dink/ 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. [Jargon File] (1994-10-31)
