computers are our friends

i'm pretty damn enchanted with the Aspire One. so far i'm okay with Linpus with a regular Xfce desktop, but even if i do make the move to Xubuntu she'll still be mouse-powered and mouse-sized.

therefore i will call her Miss Bianca. not the Disney version, but the one from the novel who wears a fine silver chain and travels by diplomatic pouch. she arrived at my house inexperienced and airheaded, but she has a good heart and will continue to improve with time. (i briefly considered Reepicheep, but this lappy is definitely a girl. also, who can say Reepicheep in casual conversation with a straight face?)

this breaks up the household naming scheme a bit (since we usually name devices after minor gods and/or mythic figures and the network is Annwn) but C says that heroes have an elevated place in the afterlife, so she belongs.

They are our friends indeed. I have no doubt that you have named the new addition to the household both wisely and well.

Somewhere deep inside, your mac is crying.

Fenrir the G4 still gets attention. i can't resist a big monitor.
