I have finally saved up enough money to buy what I have wanted for so long.....the iBook. My new laptop should be arriving hopefully at the end of next week or the first few days of class the following week. I have put it on 2-3 day delivery and the order will take 3-5 business days to begin shipping. I was floating around the web today and wanted to take a peek at what the box will look like when the computer comes and found a really good page with some great pictures. I noticed that he had named his iBook and the PC that he use to have before he switched. I have on more than one occasion thought about naming my computers too. Lets see, so far I have owned 2 PCs and now 1 Mac. The Apple IIe and Gateway PC my family has owned don't count because I didn't personally call them mine. I thought about it for a while and could only think of a name for my new iBook. I had to look at it logically to find a good name though. But of course, it wouldn't be right if I didn't do the introduction properly..........
Cyber space, the final frontier. I am a voyager on the iBook, Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new things, to seek out new programs and new applications. To boldly go where no one in my family has gone before!!
Enterprise is the name of every great exploration vehicle for the last 100 years. The first space shuttle was named this, one of the first steam boats on the Mississippi river was named this, the first nuclear aircraft carrier is named this, Britan's flag ship back in the late 1800s was named this, and of course lets not forget that the first starship from earth was named this. So its only fitting that another Patrick Stewart have another adventure....at the helm of Enterprise.
