When your computer (usually involves a Microsoft product) decides to print or display a screen full of unrecognizable jibberish. This often will happen for no apparent reason and at the worst possible times, like when you are trying to save something important or watch porn. This usually leads most people to either destroy said computer in a fit of uncontrollable rage or break down in tears, whichever works better.
I was trying to print out my weekly inventory report and then, BAM, computer vomit. Where's the blowtorch?!

the opposite of a computer geek.
Jim used to have a computer, but it crashed one day and now he thinks it's broken for good. He has been offline for 3 years now. What a Computer Stooge!

A better sounding name for the underwear you wear in front of a computer for maximum comfortability (and thermal balance) when you are alone at home and don't have to go somewhere.

Originally designed as an educational tool in the 70's it was marketed as the first computer small and cheap enough to be owned by individual consumers. Touted as the first "personal computer" and simple enough that a child could learn to operate they gained contracts with U.S. schools. They had 2 main competitors IBM which focused on business applications and Commodore who focused on entertainment (games and media).
As each improved it's side applications Commodore had trouble in the market as businesses leaned heavier on IBM and Apple had contracts with the U.S. educational systems. People saw games and media as frivolous and Commodore filed bankruptcy. However Apple snatched up bits of it and started to develop visual media which is still it's bragging point today.
IBM set it's sights on international markets and set a standard for clones and compatible systems working with Microsoft they developed the windows operating system and truly became personal computers globally.
Apple, although making models for individuals, has somehow gone to market as simply "Apple" all others systems are called PC (personal computers).
A closer look shows this to be true. IBM compatible computers have programs written by anyone and used by individual preference.
Apple is developed by Apple, licensed by Apple and largely slow or incompatible with any other systems They cost 2-3 times more and have a cult like following of hipsters and people who think they know more than everyone else.

A computer which doesn't have a fan, it is normally very quiet and can be exposed to the elements outside, but it is more prone to overheating of its components, obviously.
Look, that cool dude over there has a fanless computer,
Oh don't worry about him, it will overheat eventually
LOL. Not Really

School computers are not something you really care about that much and even if you drop them it's okay. That is because they never break even if you drop them a thousand times and they are indestructible
