This article is a list. The subject need not be bolded, and other formatting standards can be neglected.


Spacesim has many computers, and to distinguish them when networking they are given names taken from mythology, science-fiction, history, and other disciplines. The current tradition when naming computers is to let the person who contributed the box decide the name. Thus, there is a wide variety in the origins of computer names.

Simulator Loft Computers

Cassini Simulator software Named after the Italian astronomer
Bill Nye Running Windows XP performance edition Named after Bill Nye
Design 40 Runs current server software as well as tunneling through the VPN to connect 440 Albert to the Spacesim Office. Ezio's Twin.
Apu A more modern computer which will be used for video decoding and CV. Uses the uncommon 64 bit version of Windows XP. Has 8GB of RAM and an AMD APU processor. Named after Apu from The Simpsons. The name is a pun on it's use of an AMD APU processor.
Origin 4000 A rackmount server which will eventually replace Design 40. Currently being repaired and set up. Named after the SGI Origin series of servers, and the Design 40 before it. Not actually an SGI.
