Perhaps the standard large ATX-size computer cases will cease to exist and be replaced by these "mini-computers." I find these gems cuter than any iMac I've ever seen!"

    Why would I want to bulid a minicomputer?

    PCs blow away VAXes. A modern PC has way more computing power than a VAX 11/780.

    Move along, people, there's nothing here unless you're still using your VIC-20.

    It's not designed for you, it's not being marketed to you, so why are you complaining that it doesn't fit the bill?

    Stupid is right. But that's the same kind of mentality those paranoid dillusional types have when they think that the NSA is spying on them. In actuality, they're the most boring people alive and don't do anything even remotely illegal, but somehow they think that they're so important, and so special, that they're being watched at all times.
