Athena

Athena is a cute little Daewoo 7400 sub-notebook. Athena and Tehuti used to be identical machines, till Christina upgraded. Both notebooks are used for computing on the road (or in bed), moving data around, and impressing yuppies on the train. Athena belongs to Christina. Right now, she's fitted with an Intel Pentium MMX running at 166 MHz, a nice 80 Mb of RAM and around 3 Gb of HDD. It runs Windows 98 and talks to the world through a PCMCIA Ethernet adaptor and a 56 kbps PCMCIA modem.

Athena (also Athene) is, of course, named after the Greek goddess of wisdom and the crafts (later adopted by the Romans as Minerva). Athena is definitely not a moon goddess, far from in fact ― she's a virgin and goes around armed to the teeth (she was the goddess of war before the introduction of Ares). Not your typical innocent maiden of the day. She's a pretty complex character, even by Greek mythological standards and there's always more to her than meets the eye.
