I'm getting old. I can pull out my first hard drive: 10 MB for $1000.00 and just shake my head.

Even the terminology we use is obsolete. It's not a "drive" if it doesn't move. I have long maintained that the term "computer" is a misnomer. A computer computes, and most of what we do with computers has very little to do with computing except at the most fundamental levels.

Programmable Finite State [Automaton|Machine] just doesn't ahve the same brevity ;-)

But it sort of sings, doesn't it LOL!

In order to get ahead of the obsolescence curve, I think you need to anticipate developments that aren't yet prevalent. This leads me to a name like "Companion" or "Assistant" or maybe even "Guardian." Of course, we could go all Freudian and call it something like an "Alter-Ego" but that has no music.

We could call it a "pornoscope".

Well, that would be more the point for most of us, wouldn't it?
