I just bought myself a new computer. A brand new Dell Dimension 5150 with lots of fun upgrades! Um... I think. Um... Hmm...

I think I just bought myself a new computer. Now that I've gone back to the Dell site to list what it was I bought it tells me that I have no orders pending... oh. Maybe that's because they need to verify my credit card or something. **eye rolling**

Ok, the order has been verified.

So, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to name that computer - for networking purposes of course.

I currently have three computers. Yes three. The first one is 9 years old and I built it myself. At the time it cost $800 and was state of the art Pentium II clone with a whopping 6gb hard drive. (He will be going to a new home after the new computer comes, but don't tell him, I don't want to hurt his feelings) His name is Ernie. The second one, the one I'm currently whacking away at, is a cast off from work. His name is Bert. The third one is another cast off from work - a laptop. His name is Elmo. (Truthfully, all three are solid little muppets, nary a blue screen to be seen amongst the three of them, but oooooooooooh so slow...) So, keeping in line with the theme here, I was thinking Snuffleupagus, or maybe Harry Monster, but neither sound exactly right. Mr. Hooper maybe? I don't know why all my computers have to be male, but I refuse to call it Prairie Dawn **Gag** Snivelling little brat she was.

Oh sweet 250GB hard drive... caress me with your DataBurst lovin'.

I was trying to think which character on Sesame Street was Janice - I wasn't picking anybody who even hung out with Prairie Dawn - and then I googled.

(Duh!)

Yeah, Janice has a pretty good kick to it, doesn't it.

Janice would only hang out with Prairie Dawn in order to educate the pathetic little thing.

FWIW, my new work laptop is now named Janice :)
