In 2004 I purchased a computer using my sweet, sweet financial aid money. It cost me around $750 dollars. I named it the Fortress of Consternation. It had two drives (one a partition of the other). I named the C: Gondolora and the D: Panda Bears. I’ve had this computer for five years, and most of the time it was damaged, freezing on random occasions, making my life a living hell sometimes.
Well, the Age of Gondolora is over. I have purchased a new computer, for nearly half as much money but twice as much power. This computer is called Magrageeves, and it rises from the fiery ashes of Gondolora. It has only one drive, but it is Large, and I need to name it. Right now it’s called Pencil Bandit, which I think is kind of funny, but not really appropriate. Suggestions?
The Fortress of Consternation is not dead, however. From all ruins come new civilizations. Gondolora and Panda Bears shall be razed, and on their ground shall be built new cities, under the watchful eye of Ubuntu, lord of Free Operating Systems. There peace shall prosper and man shall learn how to access Terminal and receive Root. And life will be good.
Really, I’m just stoked cause I can play Morrowind again. Morrowind!
One reply on “the first age has passed. all hail the second age of computers!”
Perhaps you should name it Texas if it’s so large. My computer’s name is the Water Closet and it’s hard drive is Mothership. Funny how we name our things. I won’t even bother telling you my car’s name.
