LOL.

Stupid slot loading drives. Mine is being a punk too.

Have fun in the field!

Perhaps you should re-name him. Ganymede sounds meaner, but HAL would be more fitting in this situation...

[My new computer's name is FUSE, after the NASA satellite that collected the data that I spent a summer working with UJ on.
My old laptop, that died when the screen illumination cable fried, was named Hubble. I still miss him... he is in the closet waiting for Todd to perform an engineering miracle and bring him back from the darkness...]

My first computer's name was Ganymede. Next came Io and now I have Callisto.

I've had a printer named Europa and my camera's name is Lena.

Yes, I have a theme to my computer names. I'm a dork.

Oh, damn! Nevermind. HAL still works, though. :)

I love that we name our personal electronics after sky-objects. :)

Here is one software engineer calling you a computer dork.

"I thought Callisto loved me, but instead he seems to have chosen darkness."

Is that a racial slur?

It's actually a reference to a band named "I Love You But I Have Chosen Darkness." It's so dramatic.

Love ya!
