Smaller Than The Mini PC, The P4/2400 Micro PC

    If they make a computer that looks like [a stereotypical two-slice toaster], I'll buy it just for a good laugh.

    They already did. It's called the Power Macintosh G4 Cube computer.

    Tom's Hardware Guide has a story on the smallest PC since the Mini-PC: The MicroPC.

    Given "microcomputer" as a synonym for a personal computer, would a micro-PC also be called a "picocomputer"?

    The designers of this computer certainly aren't compensating for anything.

    It's not the size, but the way you use it.
