Israfel: Angel of Music aka my G5!

[hm_murdock]

My lovely G5 1.6 arrived and I'm getting everything configured. So far, I've named most of my Macs after angels. My 500MHz iMac is Zeruel, the Angel of Might. The G4 is Tabris, angel of Free Will, as it was purchased against the wishes of everybody I knew who said I should get a Hell... I mean Dell. The G5, being my new audio box, is Israfel, who is the angel of music. I thought it quite fitting.

It's not for religious reasons, though. I just thought the names were really wonderful, and I saw Neon Genesis Evangelion and the bad guys were alien creatures dubbed with the names of the angels.

It's easily 3x the speed of my G4, and I'm already pleased with all my audio apps.

The only beef I guess I've got is that I had to get the 1.6 and  pay $2800 to get the same package as the 1.8 because I have a specialized audio card that doesn't work with the PCI-X slots   :mad:  

Ehh, It's a G5!

I don't know if Tabris shows up in the Bible. I'm not a Christian, myself, and haven't read the Bible in years. Tabris is one of the angels of the God of Abraham, though.

You totally wrecked a great joke    

I have never read the Bible, I figured I would thumb through it when armogedon came about

oops. lol

I figured there was humor involved, but somehow I failed to pick up on it... how unlike me

suselinux, those who plan to repent at the eleventh hour die at ten thirty, to paraphrase the general gist of modern christianity! that just goes to say something about their paranoid religion if you ask me, as a polytheist i do agree that the christians may have a point, but as an Integrational Polytheist, i frown on their closedmindedness about claiming that everybody except them is wrong, and is therefore damned eternally. That's not a nice thing to say to your neighbours.

as for the angels, where would one find out about them? the apocrypha? has it got to do with all that stuff about conversing to the angels in their own language? (i forget what that is called)

[hm_murdock]

I just googled it, "angel names"

There are however a number you'll find missing.

Bardiel, Zeruel, Armisael, and a few others don't typically appear in the lists, as they're more Jewish than Christian.

as for conversing with angels, I dunno if I'd wanna talk to some of these characters...

Is that a Dvorak iTouch logitech keyboard you have, Fett? That's the same model I have. Did you modify it yourself?

I'd like a Dvorak keyboard.

[Fett101]

If by modify, you mean ripped off the keys and put them on funny, yes. (before that, they used to be in alphabetical order) I plan to someday paint it, and use this spiffy stuff named SuperCal to turn it into a QWERTY/Dvorak keyboard.
