Knowing cats, they won't get stuck, they'll just prove to have master

For a new gaming PC i would probably select a place, a person or a race
from a favourite game (excluding the obvious ones like "Britanbnia" and
such):
How about:
Nosfentor
Elenglynn an elvish ruin in (from Oblivion)
Nocturn (one of the daedra in the TES universe)
Fall-from-Grace
Nordom
Lady-of-Pain

You are of course correct.

Actually, it's not a bad name. Especially since every time I see it,
I can't help but thinking "The wonderful thing about pibburs is that
pibburs are wonderful things."

I'd more likely go along the lines of Krondor since it was one of my
two favorite all-time games. Or... Ultima UW1 is my other all-time
favorite.
You know, the Stygian Abyss is not a bad name.  In fact, the more
I think about it, the more I like it.

On the other hand, it's more polite than some of the other names I've
used to refer to my computer.
As an aside, whilst I'm generally satisified with the chassis of the
new PC, there is one design choice I really don't like: the reset
button is right at the bottom of the case and not at all recessed. I
accidentally rebooted my computer with my foot about ten times (the
tower is beneath the desk) before I realized what was causing the
"crashes".
A solution involving duct-tape may be in the near future. >> Stay informed about: Introducing.... my new PC! |

Yes, but there's more space down there. The desk is covered with
monitors and keyboards and cds, oh my! The floor only has dustbunnies,
and those are easily compressible by the weight of a computer

That's TWO button presses! My finger's not made of iron, you know!

Yeah, I remember the time George Jetson had a terrible day - he had to
push his button TWICE in a day!

Hey, don't sell George short! He suffered through three hours of work
four times a week (or was it four hours three times a week?). That
Spacely was a *slavedriver*!
Besides, George pushed more than two buttons a day. There was the
"brush my teeth" button, the "comb my hair button", the "dress me"
button, the "serve me breakfast in pill-form" button... now THERE was
a man with a finger of iron!

OK, then hug returned. If I tried to explain why I thought you didn't
get it, it'd probably sound insulting, and I don't want to do that
cause I wouldn't mean it. So we'll leave it alone.
