OK, Computer!

William J. II has arrived, and good (over)lord, is he big! I wasn't expecting next-gen to be back to Barracuda size (or should I say Hummer). Talk about muscle. William the second could take my Sony Vaio in a staring match -- it would never get to computing, or a laser shoot-out, or whatever the computer equivalent of a fistfight would be. (Poor Sonya.)

Anyway, if William J. Vader, II (whose name, after all, implies a certain proclivity for the dark side -- and he is mainly black, with a silvery bit surrounding the keyboard) betrays me in the revolution-to-come, I'll have Sonya as a handy, sniveling and slightly balky sidekick.

Every hero(ine) needs a sidekick.

In the meantime, I'm going to try William out.
