The Computers:
ENKI:
votania's personal machine, generic PC assembled by a now-defunct mom & pop computer shop that failed to provide the correct sound/monitor drivers for reinstallation. Less powerful than the name implies. Has gone back to being personal machine from his brief stint as internet server after Tigereye went down. He's bitchy about sharing an internet connection with the rest of the LAN, and freezes three to four times a week. He's had several complete reinstalls of his operating system.
Tigereye: my beloved laptop, a May 2000 Dell Latitude. Currently down: broken transformer = sans electricity.
Digital: Adam's laptop. Multiple operating systems. Many, many, many virii.
mmx233: A quiet & well-behaved system running Windows 2000, with few apparent distinguishing features except that it has no apparent distinguishing features, no USB port, and is the computer that Nephew likes to play games on.
iqman: The server. Nice, speedy, talks to the DSL, has CD burner, has hotsynch cradle for the palmtops installed. Brand new. Behaves very badly with unexpected power-offs, both the power-failure kind and the pissed-off user turning off after complete crash kind. Has had the motherboard replaced thanks to this habit.
You Dumbass: Not the official name of
marxdarx's computer, but it might as well be, because that's what it always gets called.
Ishtar: Votania's palmtop, a Handspring Visor Neo. Has been successfully resurrected from crash programs.
Inanna: my palmtop, a Neo identical to Votania's. Had been contemplating naming her Trinity, but I suppose that'll be for the next one.
Computer in my room: very small hard drive. Runs out of room thanks to stored internet files on a weekly basis.
Adam has several other machines in various states of operational, most of them without personality.
