My old computer was long named "Judecca", after the inner 9th pit of
hell that held Brutus, Judas and some other guy I can't remember the
name of. It has now long since been renamed to Gil-Galad, the high elven
king of Tolkien fame.

Phew.. getting through an 'yeh olde english' translation of the original
Devine Comedy was a drag, as this was before I moved to England and
actually learned the language...

Bonus points for reading this far: the last word in all the three books
in the trilogy is the word "stars" :D
