Sakurako Hino Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 Well, first Endeavor gets a piccie of herself, and now yours truely is getting... A NEW COMPUTER! That means... I ight be able to start getting serious about doing some of my own artwork. Not to mention I'll be able to do better stuff. So, to celebrate, I need to ask the crew here a question: What should I name my new computer? I do this simply for vanity's sake. As an added bonus, the name will also be the name of Endeavor's new mainframe! So, fire away! If only I could have won that Powerball... What I could have done with 300 million...

Sakurako Hino Posted December 27, 2002 Author Share Posted December 27, 2002 2 Hard drives, estimating 30 to 40 gigs total.Processor Speed, I'm guessing around a 500. It can run most games.Voodoo 3 Video Card.12x CD-RW.And lots of other uber things for FREE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixen Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Hmmm.The large HDs are great, but don't expect to be running Unreal Tournament on a P-500 with a Voodoo3. Still, if you're gettin' it for free, that's still the bestest deal of all...As for a name, I call mine The Beast. Mostly because it's built into a server tower and it's a beast to move.

Sakurako Hino Posted December 27, 2002 Author Share Posted December 27, 2002 Suprisingly though, there's alot I can run. I'm not shooting for Unreal Tournament. I could Run Half-Life, Q2, Possibly Q3...maybe, All of the dooms up to Final... blah blah... It's also fast enough for Photoshop, 3DStudio Max, and other graphics programs. And any word processing is a cinch. All I need to get for it is a scanner, and possibly a tablet. Then I'll be rocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakurako Hino Posted February 20, 2003 Author Share Posted February 20, 2003 A Tablet is used for sketching on the computer. It consists of a tablet, and a "pen" which when moved across the surface, moves the mouse pointer. God I want one. Too bad I got no USB ports, and most or all are USB tablets. Oh well, this 400 mhz relic is still cutting edge enough for me to enjoy life.And I've decided to call my computer Kyoko. I believe in Japanese it translates to "Mirror". This computer literally is a mirror of my old one. Except Stronger, Faster, Better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widget Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I think kyoko means apricot. Are you thinking of kagami? If you wanted something mirror-like, these may help:kyoukan = paragon/mirrormajikkumiraa = magic mirrorrifurekushon = reflectionsansei = deep reflection (meditation)naisei = introspection/reflection on one's selfranhansha = diffused reflectionshinkyou = divine mirror/sacred mirror<font face="Times New Roman" size="5" color="#BC47ED">W</font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><font color="#D673FF">idget,</font><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="1">(Who returned from Japan in 2001) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomie Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I've been thinking about learning Japanese, but after seeing all those different terms for mirrors has started me to reconsider a different language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widget Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 It's not as bad as you think. Look at how many different ways you could describe something as simple as a container of beverage in english. Cup, glass, mug, chalice, stein, wineglass, toaster, snifter, can, bottle...Being able to communicate a basic idea and observing the local customs will take you far, even if a four year old has a greater vocabualry.Just making the effort to learn is appreciated.<font face="Times New Roman" size="5" color="#BC47ED">W</font><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><font color="#D673FF">idget,</font><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="1"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 kyoukan... That is actually what I was thinking... I must have heard it incorrectly. That'll probably be the name for any backup stuff. I sort of like the name Kyoko for my computer... Kyoukan might be some program within...
