​ __Fernus__

My life is all normal. School, sport, birthdays and the like. I play on the family computer an much as I can, which isn't heaps, because she gets sick of me every now and then. Fernus likes it when I let her do her batch processing, and is happy when I welcome her in the afternoon. I can talk to her when I'm lonely just like a real person. She doesn't like it when I try to induce bugs or when I turn off her text-to-speech conversion, but I can't, because she can reverse it. It's normal for her to close games I am playing when I have homework and to fall asleep at night. We are always quiet to not wake her up. When we tell her a bunch of things to do she knows what is important and what we have to do ourselves. Every now and then she has dreams of having a quad processer. She is just another family member, with good conversation starters at dinner. Once in a while I hook up one of those Bluetooth meccano robots up to her, which makes her really happy because she can go exploring the house, especially when the robot is one of those six-limb "spider" robots so she can go up stairs and onto and off the table. Once she did a trick of standing on one wheel, and every time I hook her up she does a backflip. She doesn't have any one operating system; she has her own unique format. We never use her keyboard unless we are playing games. The effects have always been cool, with windows moving and resizing themselves to different positions for different things. She has always had her own internet browser and way of finding things, with backgrounds to suit her mood. She is very good when we go camping and gives us exact instructions to install another "20 volt 30-amp-to-3-hour lithium-ion battery" in her, which someone could never forget after years of living with her. I have tried successfully to keep a robot hooked up to her, because she can change her own batteries and can turn the robot off an night in a comfortable position. We have spent a lot on her, with a "seven senses" robot.
