Fiat lux?

L - the sign of the mourning of Isis!
V - the sign of Apophis and Typhon!
X - the sign of Osiris risen!
L-V-X - LUX, the light of the cross!

I've always liked the word.

[mattador]

Me too. Latin, in general. And there's something enchanting about the command, too- "let there be light!" It seems very apropos for a computer.

My last computer was from 2000. I figured it was about time. :)

Whoo! Fastest computer-getting ever!

[wired_lizard]

Why wait? XD when I knew what I wanted and where to get it! Just had to go there and throw money at them.

Congrats! :) White superdrive MacBooks are awesome. It's glad to know you're having fun. Also, Pages is FANTASTIC.

(Also why is the old G$ Frankensteined?)

[wired_lizard]

Pages is indeed the awesome. I've set it up so that my fic, when I'm working on it, looks pretty much how it's formatted when it goes up on my website. This amuses me.

The old G4 has had the following components replaced: hard drives, RAM, video card, audio card, optical drives, CPU. I think that's pretty Frankensteined! In terms of performance, with all those replacements, it was decently state-of-the-art in '03 or '04, even though it's eight years old. But still. Time for something about two and a half times as fast and portable!

Yay, Fear and Loathing posters :)
