I HAVE A COMPUTER!

[3rdragon]

It's very shiny.

Also it needs a name.







I am not going to spend all afternoon playing with the computer . . . I will be good. I will play with the computer until lunch, and then I will do my homework and assorted errands . . . and then I will play with the computer some more.


And did I mention that this purchase was the most money I've ever spent at one time in my life?

You should take PICTURES!

I recommend Trismegistus (reference: in Tristram Shandy, to combat the misfortune of the doctor breaking the newborn's nose during birth, along with the mistake that happened at Tristram's conception, Walter Shandy decides that the baby should have a very good name. Unfortunately for him, it's an obscure enough name that the priest, in his absence, decides that the name is probably Tristram---the name that Walter hated most).

Or, perhaps you should give it a name from a dystopian novel? Or something from HHGTG? Unless you want to highlight contrast by going with a fantasy novel/movie name.

I've established that I refuse to name it in reference to something that I haven't read/watched/whatever.

Madison recommends Venables (or Rupert).


I'd been considering Morwen, and then I saw it and that was clearly unsuitable. Perhaps one of the cats, though. Jasper Darlington Higgins IV? Or maybe Miss Eliza Tudor.

. . . if you give it an evil name, maybe the computer will know that you're already on to it.

But if it knows that I'm already onto it, we won't go through that stage of it being nice to lull me into a false sense of complacency . . . it'll just start right off being evil.
