I am geek. Pull my finger.

[elfs]

Well, the laptop is slowly shaping up. I have full video and audio (yay!), my favorite text processor and a few other useful utilities that I enjoy using, and most of the things I need for day-to-day operations, like Firefox, Thunderbird, Liferea, GAIM, and so forth.

On a whim, I also installed the BioAPI. I no longer need to give this machine my password. I just put my finger down on the fingerprint reader and it unlocks for me. I haven't quite got that working with unlocking the screensaver, but it works for logging into the machine after bootup, and for gaining root (administrator) access.

I know Lynn and Rowan, though I think both are now substantiated as androids so I dunno if they count any longer.

Joshua & Athena - AIs from Embassy Tales (Athena was the Earth-side AI and Joshua the ship's AI)

Fawn - Though I don't know for absolute certainty it was every laid out exactly *what* Fawn was.

Wendy was an AI on the Eldarfaroth (though she may have transferred to Rhysh later)

Just a couple I could remember the stories for real quick.

Lynn was the first AI at Rhysh (0127/038 - Raising Castles) and Rowan took over after Lynn got herself a body (0519/245 - Lynn's Birthday). At some point later I believe Rowan was replaced by Pam (in 527/257 Convers[at]ions it was start, by 0528/098 - Distracting Aaden Rowan was still getting used to her new body and in 0544/118 - Affirmation by Experience the AI is called Pamela/Pam).

Liffip was the AI on board the Pellaeon Elen (0622/192 Space, Again).

Dali was the AI on board the ship that returned Ken, P'nyssa and the rest to the Eldarfaroth (0672/079 Coming Home).

Can you remember which story Wendy was in? I worked out why I thought Wendy was a Rhysh, the person at the front desk in 0544/118 was called Wendy, and my brain mis-applied the name.

For Wendy, yep. The story is "Katherine Hawkwind". I looked at a couple of stories where I knew an AI was addressed.

Lancelot was the AI living nearest to Amanda Ohadi at the start of the Planetfall arc, and transferred on board the Nyano Handele for the trip.

By 01022/240 Planetfall: The Handback, the fifth AI of Rhysh was Alyson.
