Farewell Melior
As of today, I no longer have a laptop.
As of two weeks from now, I will have a laptop again. A Vaio FE, with a 2Ghz processor and 1GB RAM, with a 60GB HD and an NVidia GeForce graphics card and a webcam I will never use but the case was a required update to accomodate the graphics card. With a two year warranty and a high performance battery. I'll have free shipping, the tax refund, and the credit for my Toshiba.
Her name will be Namine, and she will be engraved with a line from a Riku/Namine drabble I haven't yet written for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

the stars fell like snow
on that night that never happened
I considered naming her after a Last Dreamer character, but Maris didn't fit, and almost all of the rest of the cast would just be asking for trouble -- like, Law? Graham? Remington? I don't think so. However, I have a standing tradition of naming hardware after other people's fiction. My HP laptop was ZERO, after the gundam from Gundam Wing, which explains why it was so evil and eventually exploded. My external hard drive, bought in ZERO's hayday, was the corresponding Wing, only like Gundam Wing to Gundam Wing ZERO, not evil.
My desktop succeeding ZERO was Ceiynt, after a Rosemary Edghill character, and like his paladin namesake, he has been faithful and devoted and a little underhanded. My Toshiba laptop was named Melior from the same source, and like his namesake, he has been clueless and unhelpful and high-maintnenace and inexplicably lovable, so I am sorry to see him go.
And now, a Namine.
Please live up to your namesake's creativity and gentleness, and get along well with Ceiynt and Wing. ♥
(Oh! I forget what name my little Sony Clie might have, because I haven't hooked it into my computer in about two years, but my iPod is Ruth! Named after Ceiynt's charge and Melior's girlfriend. omigod if hardware could be sad--
--wait! she didrun out of batteries inexplicably shut down on me when I turned him in. oh! I'm sorry Ruth!)
