Meet My New Computer
Publius "Pubes" Fortunatus. Aka Lucky.
I have some dread that it may be ill-omened to give my computer a Latin name. But I really wanted to name something Pubes, and I know I'll never have to guts to do it to a child or a pet. And perhaps I can think of it like Heracles, who was named after Hera in a propitiatory way, because she was the one who hated him most.
On the other hand, I already feel some resentment toward this new computer (I can't help it!) because I had to retire Lolita before her time and there's this irrational transference of negativity going on...to this innocent babe, Pubes. If the resentment becomes too distracting I will have to drop the Roman name and go exclusively by Lucky.
