He should name it, in my egregious opinion, Don Boyd. Thus, the computer
will become a cybernautic extenuation of himself, at least in nomenclature.
Where does man end and machine begin?
"I need to reboot my 400MHz Don Boyd... I need to get more memory for Don
Boyd... I need to get a beef brisket sandwich for Don Boyd... Don Boyd does
not like 800k floppies... I'm afraid of people stealing Don Boyd... Don Boyd
needs a hug..."
Or would he just refer to it as "I"? "I need to zap my PRAM... I need to
install the ROM firmware update on me..."
Just a thought...
