THX1138 is the name of George Lucas's first movie, also used in Star Wars as a call sign, and THX the sound system :)

LV-426 was the name of the planet used in Aliens (or also known as Acheron from the original Alien)

good job guys :)

Wave,Jun 16 2003, 07:28] Funny and true story...

I was taking my comp to my friends house to set some stuff up, but had to go to the mall to pick up some stuff, so I went to park. Couldn't find a spot, but then I saw one in the expectent mothers spot. Drove up, parked and got out of the car. Just then a security guard comes up, "You can't park there" I stammered and said, sure I can, my 'baby's' in the back. He looked in the back, saw the computer, and began laughing so hard that he just let me be.

So, I guess I call my computer my baby.

hahahah nice!

//Pheonix (after it burned up and cracked the cpu and fried the motherboard, I bought new parts and it has arisen from the ashes - so to speak)

//Fuzzychildren (wife's computer - she couldn't decide which cat to name it after, so....)

//Room712c (my extra computer I have taken into work. Had to make it seem like it was one of the other computers. boring, but they never figured it out)

      Regarding the AI photo, I LOVE AI in that regard, you ask it what you want and it gives you a lovey photo in under a minute, that would taken me an hour to make in photoshop and it wouldn't have looked nearly as good. 2 nights ago I spent a couple hours collaborating with AI.  I did not say write me an article. I would write one or 2  paragraphs, then I would ask it to clean it up so it read better but still keeps the information I was trying to convey.  Rinse repeat.
