I got a laptop for Christmas! Yippeehoo! His name is Neville. Yes, he is named after a Harry Potter character, but I didn't name him so please do not take away all my cool points. Of course I have names for each of my computers, so my geek points are probably really adding up for each of them. I do not have my cool or geek point tally. At 31, it is out of my control and in the hands of some teenager somewhere. Luckily, at 31 you don't care so much about cool as you once did.
The first thing you notice when you get a new computer is the vultures circling. "So, what are you going to do with the old computer?" They ask, emphasizing old as if suddenly your prior computer were some kind of moldy food in the bottom of your refrigerator. Do you honestly think someone that names their computers is going to fall for that one? Pfft! Come on!
Each computer has a purpose and one more just means that the work is spread around a little more. Bunny900 (my PC) is for internet/gaming/web paging, Trixie (my G4) is for music and movies, Neville (my laptop) is for writing at the coffeeshop and practicing Maya at work, and Naya is my first computer and that's all she has to do. So scram!
That being said, Neville is so cool! I love taking him everywhere. But I like my computers to talk to me. I have Alan Rickman's voice for Bunny900, but I don't have any sounds for Neville yet. I wanted to get sound clips from Neville in the Harry Potter movie, but I can't find any! I've gone to about 5 Neville fan sites and there aren't any sounds. I want the "Why does this always happen to me?" for my error message and "The problem is I can't remember what I've forgotten," for my empty recycle bin message. >_< Maybe when the next movie comes out there will be more fan sites and they'll have sounds.
I love Neville. <3
