Now taking votes/suggestions re: naming my Alphasmart! And since I'm also going to get a new computer some time this year, I thought I'd name them in tandem.

[Poll #243495]

ETA: It's really annoying that I can't edit polls, because now I've realised who's missing! Gimli (and Legolas)! *facepalm*

Some explanations are possibly in order, here ... Since the AS will be following me around everywhere, I figured Gríma would be an appropriate name, and with Gríma comes Éowyn, of course. I'm not sure if the AS looks like a Celeborn, but considering that he's the trophy husband, the idea amuses me. "Sam", again, would be following me faithfully, although I'm not too sure about naming my computer after Frodo for reasons mentioned below re: the Twins.

On to the HP options, then! Ron the Brave charging with me where angels fear to thread, and Hermione the Wise and Stable. Speaks for itself, I think. :D I'm not sure about either of the twins options, not only because it implies the two are interchangeable (and the AS and the computer surely aren't) but also because naming anything electronic after a pair of merry pranksters is just inviting trouble, I think, and after two years of living with a computer named "Justin" and all the resulting diva fits ("Fucking Timberlake!") I've sort of learned my lesson.

Dude, the computer is the brains of the outfit, and the AS is very, um, mobile and willing to do dirty work? I dunno. It just seems to me that the computer must be Hermione, which makes the AS Ron. Or maybe, say, Neville.

Re:

See, I like the idea of Hermione!Computer, but AS!Ron ... meh. Right now, it looks like it'll be either Gimli (and Legolas) or Gríma (and Éowyn).

(Considering the greenish colour, I suppose the AS could be Marcus, but that would make the computer Oliver, and I would like my computer to be smarter than the average rock, you know?)

::sobs:: But the computer could be Percy! And then you'd have Percy interfacing with Marcus, and the possibilities... Also, then your mouse could be Oliver and the keyboard could be Cedric... Theirloveissotragic.
