A computer that high-fives you.

A computer with a peripheral shaped like an arm, which gives you a high-five at appropriate times-- i.e. "Are you sure you'd like to delete this file?" (Yes, OK!) "File deleted successfully!! HIGH-FIVE!!!"

       Sorry, but I can just imagine somebody reprogramming this to not high-five, but slap somebody at appropriate points.   

       Eg:
"Are you sure you want to delete that file?" (No, no way!) "File not deleted. You bastard, you're wasting all my memory" *Slap*.

Is this a thinly veiled rant?

       If you are confronted with a YES/NO prompt and you really aren't sure then you could arm wrestle it to settle the decision.

       does it lick it's palms first?

       It's official. Computers need a hand.

       This is a fantastic idea - couldn't the arm be modified to wipe the monitor clean every few days, with the help of some cleaning fluid stored in the hand?

       Is that the one that prefers computers of it's own make but won't admit it and indulges in a lot of macho hi-fiving instead?

       That's right. And every one in two CDs gets mangled when you press eject...

       I award one hundred points to Jinbish, for making me laugh on a Monday morning.

       With two arms, it could do more dance-like moves, and even 'raise the roof' to your favorite songs.   

       Could also clap for you when you do something good.

       No compilation errors. High five!
