Aanyway, in one of his stories, this guy calls his computer ("MyComputer") Mike. From the first syllable. That's it. Nothing "cleverer". In fact, this whole thing seems very stupid now. Forget I said anything. :) Oops, different story. Aanyway, in one of his stories, this guy calls his computer (“MyComputer”) Mike. From the first syllable. That’s it. Nothing “cleverer”.

Come on. I mean, you're officially disqualified for anything, even a puff at guru, after this, but: it was in one of the short stories we did. Got it now? @kalafudra: Thanks! Sounds very useful. Adding to my list. :) @Ashwin:

I absolutely hate it... When I get a .lit, I immediately convert it (usually to a pdf). Unfortunately, I don't have more to add, seems like you are more of a software buff than I am.
