#1720 – baby computer names

This was posted over 22 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

yeah, i’m still at work. we’ve been busy for the first 2/3 of the day, and

now we’re pretty slow (except for our technical service desk… our

technicians just about always have a line).

anyway, since i was bored, i started thinking of what i’d name my next

computer. my current computer is named “thelemon” because that’s what it

seems to have been – a lemon. it’s had to have replaced:

– motherboard

– processor (twice)

– video card (twice)

… and probably a bunch of other stuff that i can’t think of right now…

basically, with my computer, everything except for the hard drive, dvd-ram

drive (that mine accidentally came with instead of a dvd-rom drive), and

modem has been replaced. i remember adding up the costs of each individual

componet, and it came out to be about twice the cost of the computer, heh.

back to computer names: i think the next computer i’ll get i’ll name

“mercury”. why?

– because another computer of mine has bitten the dust -> “another one

bites the dust” by queen -> freddy (or is it “freddie”?) mercury

– hopefully it’ll be a quicksilver g4… “quicksilver” is another name for

mercury

– and it’ll definitely be faster than my current computer, so the “quick”

bit is rather fitting, i think, hehehe

yeah, i’m a dork, hehe. ^_^;
