A $400 computer is a toy.
A $400 computer that costs $800 is an expensive toy.
/* End of text from net.micro.atari */

Would you buy the ST at a store that bought them for $400 and sold them to
you for $2000 in a fancy plush room with Windham Hill music piped in?
(Of course not, because you know the hoi polloi can get them for $400...but
what if you didn't know?)

It is function that determines toy status, not price--unless you're of the
sort that judges quality by price.
