ZIGGY

The project's "parallel hybrid computer", created by Sam. Ziggy has a definite personality; he has a big ego, crashes a lot, hates to be wrong, and frequently sulks! He freaks out sometimes, too--once he turned off the climate control, once he wouldn't output in anything but Japanese, and once he stuck an extra zero on the end of everyone's paycheck, leaving Al to report "half the staff took off on vacation!"
