Actually I was refering to the spectrum of machines from the "1 user,
no external connections" to the public access systems. I was not
categorizing any particular machine as one thing or another, just
covering the bases on range of use. I use the term hobbyist in the sense
of a system used for personal, non-commercial purposes, not as a
perjurative in any sense.
