In context, Albert uses the word 'toy' as invective. I read his  
message to say, approximately, that any real use of the machines will  
be restricted to those kids that the machines turn into bearded UNIX  
hackers; to all other kids, they'll be nothing more than a video game  
platform.

That position is irreconcilable with the project's stated purpose or  
the philosophy behind it.
