{Entry Three}

[blackbirdxpie]

The data recording machine I've acquired from the Wilderness is much more advance than I anticipated. The complexity of the technology powering the machine is beyond my own recollection. Nevertheless, reviewing the included manual has allowed me to uncover its basic functions.

Might I inquire if anyone is familiar with such technology?

Can you describe the machine in more detail?

[blackbirdxpie]

It's comprised of four major parts. First is what is labeled as the 'tower', which as I understand it serves as the source. The other three components attach to the tower: the monitor, a display of the information entered to the machine; a keyboard, it's easiest explained as a compact typewriter of sorts, though the key strokes appear on the monitor rather than printing to paper; and there is also attachment labeled the 'mouse', which displays a small arrow on the monitor. Moving the mouse allows one to navigate the displayed content.

I'm afraid I don't entirely understand the mechanics behind the system's operation, though if you require further clarification, I will do my best to explain.

[ice_echani]

It sounds like a primi computer. I know how to use this sort of technology, although it may take me a bit of time to familiarize myself with that particular machine.

[blackbirdxpie]

Yes. The machine is labeled, Apple iMac, Intel, Core 2 Duo. Would you be willing to assist me understand how to operate it? The favor, of course, would not go uncompensated.

[Reads the exchange above before he replies.] Not to shabby, dude. If you need any further help with it that level of tech is right up my alley.

[blackbirdxpie]

I'll keep that in mind should it be necessary in the future. Might I ask your name?

[codenamewiccan]

I'm picking up computer parts in case any computers break down in the meantime. Never know, you know? I'm Codename, Code for short.

[blackbirdxpie]

Understandable, considering the Wilderness's instability.

I appreciate the offer, Codename. I'm Crow.

Nothing I've heard of before, but I see the more technology members of the Sphere have lent you a hand.

[blackbirdxpie]

Indeed. Curious though how some find it familiar and others do not.

[snapsnap_boom]

The Sphere seems prone to all kinds of people from various walks of life, human or otherwise. None of our investigations yielded any pattern in that, its a dead end lead.

[blackbirdxpie]

Various walks of life, as in... different cultures?

[man_genius]

Crow right? Excellent you got the computer! What type did you get?

If you need any more help with it I seem to know a thing or two about them.

[blackbirdxpie]

Correct. The computer's label reads: Apple iMac, Intel, Core 2 Duo.

Noted. And again, I appreciate your assistance.
