This is what a colleague of my father told him at work some decades ago with microcomputers.<p>He felt calling those &quot;toys&quot; computers was some disrespectful for the real thing, the one with 125 MBytes hard drive, instead of the ridiculous amount the toys had at the time.<p>Of course he wanted all the company to buy an IBM mainframe(under his control of course). My father decided to buy 30 micro computers instead. It was a great decision st the end.<p>Those hobbyists making semi-useless, plastic trinkets are the same people that will make the serious low tolerance manufacturing in the future.<p>Did you learned to run and jump before crawling?
