Yes. Just say, "No PC clones running Windows."
How hard is that?
Saying it is easy. Getting people to believe it is another thing. "But... but
it's running, like, Windows 95. Isn't that vintage? Seems like your sort of
thing."
I've run into that. I deal with it by whipping out my phone and showing the
offending party a picture of something serious; my PDP-11/70 usually works well.
