Entropy
Entropy is the first computer I ever owned, kinda. It was a gift from my parents for high school graduation. The machine has kept the same functionality and name, but the hardware has changed significantly since then. In fact, the only part that remains from the original entropy is the floppy drive.
Because of its history, entropy is the only of my computers that is not named for a character from The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Entropy was long my only machine running Windows, and with my usage, would occasionally degrade to the point of requiring reinstallation. |
