So, I finally have the new laptop. And I’ve spent all night making her beautiful (yes, all my laptops are female…) and trying to get stuff across from the broken laptop (Inanna) to the new one (not successful). So then I re-installed a bunch of applications and dragged important things (poetry, photos) over from backups and from Enkidu, my external disk (yes, peripherals are male). I had to go hunting for one of my favourite fonts, Bickley Script, because I can’t remember how I got it originally and it’s a commercial font, but I found it eventually (it’s vital because it’s in my résumé). I don’t have Dreamweaver re-installed yet because that came from the Uni and I don’t have the disks and I can’t find my disk for FileMaker Pro (why didn’t I put it back in the box?). You didn’t really want to know all this boring stuff, did you?
Here’s a photo of my beautiful new girl…
So, the question is, what to call her? All my Macs have had the names of goddesses. I’ve had Hecate, Astarte, and most recently Inanna. I’ve been toying with Ishtar, but I’m open to suggestions.
