Minicomputers
I heard a young guy call his WinMobile/Symbian/whatever-enabled mobile phone a "minicomputer" this morning. This is what I think of as a minicomputer (a DEC VAX 11/780 which went on sale in 1978) ...
... not this ...
But maybe he has a point. Perhaps minis are so obsolete that it makes sense to recycle the word for real mini-computers.
