Not sure how long I can be bothered doing this, but I'm writing this on my new pocket p.c. She's beautiful...

Yeah, that's enough of that.

EDIT (from Gandalf) I might as well mention our naming strategem.

  • Gandalf/Shadowfax (the computer and it's second hard-drive): My computer, a slightly old but for it's time powerful mac. Replaced Pippin, who was smaller and much more pathetic.
  • Arwen: Cam's shiny laptop, with her potable hard-drive Aragorn
  • Eowyn: The new ppc (becuase she's small and spunky but not as powerful as she thinks)
  • Saruman: The big windows box
  • Galdriel: The server (was previously Gimli, who was small but powerful and lived in the dark)
  • Feonor: The printer
  • Palantir (I think): the airport (I was quite proud of these last two becuase I'm a sad Tolkein fangirl)

    Neat. I particularly like the justifications for Gimli and Palantir.

    I never got around to naming my first computer, because I had nothing to distinguish it from, but my second was Skaro, and I currently divide my time between Mondas and Telos. (I also have a PPC, which is Tibet, because it's too small to be a planet.)

    I felt embarrassed having to look those up, until I realised what they were. You big nerd :)

    That's me, yes.
