A disclaimer about my Norse-inspired naming scheme
The majority of computers on this page, if they have ever been in "active service" in my stable, have received names inspired from figures and artifacts of Norse mythology. Because of the modern environment in which we exist, I wish to leave a disclaimer here that, yes, I am aware of the connection between the old Nordic myths and modern neo-Nazi viewpoints. It is important that I tell you that I utterly, completely reject all such viewpoints. I simply have a passing interest in the old Norse stories. If you are in any way associated with modern Nazis or otherwise buy into their rhetoric, then I am sorry, there is nothing here for you and I want nothing to do with you. (While I am at it, trans rights are human rights, and stop the genocide.)
