Computer Geek Challenge Responses for Emergency

We had a challenge on the Two Chickies mailing list to see who could come up with a way to describe their favorite 70's character in computerese. It was loads of fun and a great challenge. Here are the responses we've received to date. If you want to give it a try, we'll be happy to add you on.

From Kelly Blecher:

Cap's towering CPU made him the envy of all the other icons. His internal zip stored enough information to run the entire LA County Fire Department. Burning CD's was second nature to him. After all, this was the smooth operator that processed his superior's hat into bytes and wasn't afraid of Herbert, the mouse. Protected by a firewall, he saves and saves as without any general protection faults. RAM and ROM aside, he can scan me for viruses any time! Captain Hank Stanley isn't just another outdated module, but a Pentium class kind of operating system!

From Kathy Corrigan:

John Gage of Emergency has a very nice monitor. It is quite easy on the eyes and tends to make female users smile. His 'eyecons' are always bright, except when there is a problem in another part of his system. This, unfortunately, tends to happen often as some of his users are not careful in their handling. When all programs are running at optimum the view is always clear and easy to understand, even if the words do come up in random order all the time.

This monitor has proven to be a very popular model, always in high demand despite only being available in one width. Users of this model are cautioned to handle with care to avoid frequent short circuits. Just make sure to clean the screen often as it has a tendency to collect dust and dirt rapidly.

From Nancy Thysell:

CHET KELLY is one of those programs the MIS department has been warning you about. He comes with multiple SCSI ports and is very tricky. Just when you think you understand what's happening, he's libel to "boot" you off without warning. He's subject to spreading viruses throughout the workstation. Not to be trusted with internal disk "drives". He keeps trying to get upgraded but hasn't mastered the "engineering" tests yet.
