pizza box: n. [Sun] The largish thin box housing the electronics in (especially
Sun) desktop workstations, so named because of its size and shape and the
dimpled pattern that looks like air holes.
Two-meg single-platter removable disk packs used to be called pizzas,
and the huge drive they were stuck into was referred to as a pizza oven.
It's an index of progress that in the old days just the disk was
pizza-sized, while now the entire computer is.
