Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, the great experiment to recover the USB drive has failed. I can't even reformat it blank now. Very irritating. I backed it up before it failed utterly, but now I'm nervous about relying on the technology as much as I had been--keeping email on a locked drive, primarily. Most everything else is duplicated somewhere else, but the email contains sent messages that weren't anywhere else.
How did I break it? Unplugged it before ejection was complete. Caveat user.

ita, I broke a whole computer by unplugging the keyboard. Some of us just have the gift ;)

I don't want the gift. Somebody take it back.
A virtual PC for every person. So this is web 2.0, huh? I have to say, it's a nifty idea. Perhaps more durable than a flash drive. Still, it's more comforting to have your data where you can degauss at need.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
zoho is pretty good -- for the word processing anyway -- I didn't have to lok hard for anything like i did for google docs

My connection is too slow to render g.ho.st useful. I like the idea, though.
