Alcuin is the second most stubborn man I ever met. He's also a part-angel semi-married to a vampire, so you'd think he'd be used to things not fitting his mental paradigm. Then again, I had the advantage of living to the 1980s, so I at least know what a personal computer is.

This is quite a complicated society. I assume normal computers aren't like this, regardless of whether their components are anthropomorphized?
