I'd like you to meet Norman

Well, my computer arrived yesterday! Getting a new computer is a lot like moving into a new apartment. You know how you like to do things but you still have to unpack all your stuff and then go through it all and organize it.

I decided to try and mix things up a little bit and not use Quicksilver (my bread and butter) but that experiment failed.

But anyway, I digress. I have decided to name him Norman. He's big, he's bad, he's a lean mean computin' machine!

No seriously, he is big. A lot bigger of a footprint than little ol' Hank (May he rest in peace)! I need to come up with a new way of carrying my computer around!

Anyway, I am still figuring things out with him, and loving it! I'll get a picture of the two of us tomorrow!

    Can I call him Cabin Boy Farluffo, you Doctor Vegetable, and Cabin Boy Farluffo a Beautosaurus?

    I don't know how Doctor Vegetable feels about the idea, but I like it!
    Can I call you Emperor Magnificent Exotico?!

    Oh, I just had a great idea! Let's all shout "Norm!" whenever Benji enters a room with Norman (a la Cheers). But it's like a nickname -- we all have to work together to make it stick. And then eventually it would just be second nature.

    And Benj! I had no idea that you got a PhD in Vegetableness!

    Well, Omer, it took me about 2 days to finally understand that sentence of yours. Seriously, I read it like 10 times and had no idea what you were talking about. I don't know why I had so much trouble, but I have it figured out now!

    Beautosaurus: Yes, of course yes, to anything.

    Doc V: How's the salad ray coming?

    Keri: Your big mistake is in assuming that it's worth understanding.

    P.S., Norm!
