My primary workstation is an AMD64 3400+ processor with 4GB of RAM running Fedora 20 and XFCE. Its name is Kraid.

My secondary computer is a Mac Mini with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz processor and 4GB of RAM. This system is much faster than my primary workstation. Its name is Phantoon.

My tertiary computer is a Dell Latitude laptop with an AMD64 X2 Turion 2GHz processor and 4GB RAM running a dual boot of Fedora 23 and Windows 7. Its name is Ridley.

My quaternary computer is an HTC Desire 610 running Android 4.4.2. Its name is Chad’s Dumb Phone.

My quinary computer is an AMD XP 2800+ processor with 2GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro running Windows XP. This is my gaming rig and I get 90+ FPS in Return to Zork. Its name is Kraid-Old.

I have two Synology DS115j NAS devices with 4TB hard drives. One is named Draygon and it synchronizes data to the other which is named Botwoon.

I have a Brother MFC-8910DW copy/print/fax machine. I don’t believe it has a name. People just call it Brother.

Somewhere in this mess was a device named Crocomire, but I can’t for the life of me remember what.

I have the following consoles at my desk: Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, GameCube, PlayStation 2, 3DS and Wii U. The N64, GameCube and Wii U are the Japanese versions. With this setup, I can also play games that were released for the PlayStation, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, and Wii.

I only get to play video games when I’m studying Japanese, which right now is not very often. As expected, the games end up being much less fun because of this, but eventually that will change big time.

My network was necessarily entitled Zebes.

And if the above doesn’t make much sense, here’s a layman’s summary:

• I use many different types of computer systems on a daily basis (Linux, Mac, Windows, Android)
• The newest personal computer I own is almost seven years old while the oldest is about 12 years old
• Comprehensive data backup is very important
• I have a lot of video games yet rarely play them
• Super Metroid , a well respected video game, has imaginative monikers for its characters and environments
