New York subway tunnels

File:Underground city.jpeg

The **New York subway tunnels** were the tunnels in the subways of New York City.

## History

### *The Angel Experiment*

After leaving the library, Nudge asked if they could take the subway back to Central Park. Max told her that it was only about eighteen blocks to walk, but the Flock chose to check on how much the subway fare was anyway. Ten minutes passed without a train before Iggy heard voices in the tunnels; Max quickly caught on and decided to check it out with the rest of the Flock.

As they were going through, Iggy felt a train coming, causing the Flock to press themselves against the walls. Afterwards, a rough voice asked who was there and led the Flock to discover the small city in the tunnels. They spent the night in the city and, following a dispute with Mike, left in the morning.

## Appearance

The tunnels are described as having "yucky, disgusting" walls.

The cavern containing the small city was large, three stories high and dripping with stalactites and condensation. Its residents had also started fires in fifty-gallon oil drums. After Nudge gave a knish to a woman inside the cavern, she pointed at a narrow concrete ledge built that was hundreds of feet long and built into the wall.

## Trivia

* Per Fang, the third rail of the subway train tracks has seven hundred volts of direct current running through it.

This building was mentioned in the Angel Experiment, where the Flock went to explore inside with Angel. It was a large glass-fronted building, and behind its glass were an enormous teddy bear, a huge wooden soldier, and a fifteen-foot-tall ballerina up on one pointed toe. Right inside the front door was a huge two-story clock covered with moving figures. The song "It's a Small World" played loudly. A life-size stuffed giraffe surrounded by other life-size stuffed animals led the way to the whole stuffed-animal area, which was practically as big as the Flock's old house. There was also a whole room of Legos and Bionicle in which the boys had went off to look at. Nudge and Angel had picked up one stuffed animal after the other. Nudge had showed a stuffed tiger, whom she named Samson, to Max and had asked her that wasn't he the cutest thing. Max had flabbergastedly agreed. Angel also wanted a $49 angel teddy bear (whom she later influences a woman to buy it for her after Max refused to do so and called it/her Celeste). After the disagreement, Max had "pretended" wandered a few feet away, still within eyeshot of the girls, to look at a "‘mystical" display. There were Magic 8 Balls, and when you shook them, an answer would float to the surface of a little window. Max shook one. "Very likely" was its prediction. Unfortunately, she had forgotten to ask it a question. There was also a game called Cabalah!, a Gypsy Fortuneteller game, and the old favorite: a Ouija board. Although no one was near to operate it, the Ouija board spelled out: *Save the World, Max.* Frightened, Max called back the rest of the Flock, watched impatiently as a woman bought Angel her toy, and then, they hightailed out of there, with Angel's new toy, Celeste.
The store was located on Fifty-eighth Street near the bottom of Central Park.

## Trivia

* This is a reference to the toy store FAO Schwarz, oldest toy store in the U.S. which in the real world had its flagship store located on 58th Street.
Naelor Ceranus

## "There has never been a playboy, nor a gentleman, like Naelor Ceranus." In his mind, anyway, this is true.

"Well hello there."

## Background

Born and raised in the poor north island of Voraquath of Forager's Delta, he devoted his life to Freya after... discovering himself, so to speak, as a boy. Known more among his paladin order for his strength than for his wisdom, he had never been one to rest and meditate on his religion for too long. The temple had always been too formal, too stuffy, to truly share Freya's grace with the world.
Meanwhile, on the Isle of Grace to the south of Forager's Delta, the soon-to-be Royal Administrator Rae Drestori, daughter of Borgranon, lieutenant of the Dragon Commander Nyinuth, decided to escape her life for a tenday - gone without permission from her father. Fed up with the posh lifestyle around her, she took the first coach she found to the north on the pretext of visiting the local clerical orders. While she did visit the area, she spent most of her time experiencing the seedier parts of town, gambling and drinking. Missing the island's curfew, and unable to find her way around the area, she resigned herself to spending the night on the street. This is how she first knew - in the biblical sense - Naelor. He took her into his home, made sure she was comfortable for the week, and showed her about town. Ever since then, even as she rose to prominence, she has obsessively tried to find him again, whenever time allowed.

Later, during one of Naelor's rare visits back to the temple, one of his colleagues noted a gift, wrapped in lace, that had been left for him. Inside was a magical warhammer, as well as a note.

## In the party

After being hired by Captain Bore in Forger's Delta, he trained with the group for 2 months before heading out to Volkor then Bagne with them. There, they found the town had been destroyed and were attacked by 2 zombies that exploded after dying again, then rose as charred skeletons. After dispatching them, the group met Yellowtip and followed him to Nekropolis. They met the town's leaders, agreed to help them for information, and headed out to Hagrove to open trade with the High Elf leader. The group learned she was a dragon polymorphed as a High Elf and quickly left after making a deal. They went back to Nekropolis, told the leaders and decided the goblins needed to move out. So they agreed to leave in a week after the group reported back to Captain Bore. Once on the road, he disappeared in the night and wasn't exactly missed.

## After the party

Naelor left the group in the middle of the night, having decided he didn't want to mess with a dragon by helping goblins. So he headed for the land he owns to the north west of Demari, in the uninhabitable swamplands. He is currently doing small jobs, trying to get enough gold together to build his home and amass as much land as possible.
Yellowtip

## "Everyone just calls me 'Hey You!'"

"Everyone just calls me 'Hey you!' but I like Yellowtip!"

 Appearance

Shorter than most goblins from his hometown of Nekropolis, Yellowtip has green skin with a faint yellow hue on the tips of his fingers, ears and nose. He has wispy white hair and yellow eyes that are almost always bloodshot, until he met the group.

## Background

Born in Nekropolis to the immortal leaders, he was always bullied for being the runt of the town and just overall unlikable. He was made a scout at a young age and did his job well, receiving free food and drink at the Oldog tavern. He did this until he was told to go to Bagne and warn them about the undead that were in the area, but he was too late. The town was already destroyed by a type of undead that would explode if hit, and others had bombs strapped to their chests. So he hid out of fear, until the group came to the town and killed the remaining undead. He cautiously approached them and told them he could take them back to Nekropolis and they agreed. After spending a few days there, he was accepted into the group and now travels with them.
Gaillean Hilltopple

## Appearance

An older woman with a few wrinkles around her eyes, Gaillean is clearly one of the oldest adventurers still active. Her white and blue hair always seems to drift around her lightly changing the way it frames her face by the second. Her facial markings she has had since birth have been interpreted in a few different ways. Upside down flowers spreading pollen, fish tails swimming through water, and a few others. She walks around proudly in her gold colored armor with red trimmings showing the colors and symbol of her goddess proudly on her chest. The necklace is intricately woven gold pieces wrapped around a central crystal disc. At first it looks to be red in color, but with a closer look it is actually a clear crystal with a small red flame trapped within, which she uses to light her prayer candles. With her shield on her back and her mace at her side, none would mistake her for anything but a woman on a mission for her goddess, her ideals, and her faith.

## Background

Gaillean does not try to hide to destroy her past life, but she does not feel the need to pronounce it without need. She has talked about how she grew up in a mining town filled with mostly dwarf and halfling influence and that her own parents are halflings as well and talked about how they taught her to make jewlery. She wears a gold band on her left ring finger and she has made subtle attempts to show it to men trying to become too friendly with her in the past, but she has not spoken of a spouse. She often finds affinity to people who are younger or shorter than her and she can be very protective of them when the time calls for it. She has said that the Everlight saved her and showed her the light that the world can hold and that she and many others must protect it.

## In the party

Very much the mother of the group, she sees to it that her party is kept healthy and disciplined if need be. She will often be the one to jump in front of a party member with her shield if she can see and react to the danger attempting to harm them. She has shown cunning and wit as she was able to trick a dragon into thinking that she was taught by the goblin city how to make jewelry and presented the dragon with a show of craftsmanship that the dragon saw was well done and initially agreed to trade with the goblin city because of this. She has also shown that she can "jump-the-gun" as she made the deal with the dragon before she knew it too be one and felt guilty that she had made the goblins to look like they would serve the dragon. She also often cares too much for others over herself and will give over her own food, drink, and shelter if it means someone else would be more comfortable. She makes sure that Yellowtip is encouraged when he thinks for himself about issues or shows interest in her goddess, even crying a bit at the realization that Yellowtip heard the Everlight's voice while praying in a temple with her.
Aphiel Sol

## Background

He attempts to live a normal life but is constantly reminded that the real world requires blood, sweat and tears to live in. Raised in the deserts of Jehanna it did not take long once he came of age to abandon his dusty home life in search of something better. Traveling south he entered the Baloin Mountain Range and found a hermit. Together they lived for several years, the hermit teaching Sol how to survive the harsh mountain terrain. However, the hermit eventually passed away to old age, and Aphiel feeling he had nothing left to him here in the mountains continued his journey south until he came to the city of Forger's Delta in the Demari Kingdom.

Here he came to be enthralled with the arena, eventually making his living in the bloody sport. Humanoid or otherwise he split their blood upon the coin that lined his pockets, all the while making a name for himself. His sharp tongue won the favor of the crowd just as much as his sword play. However one day his words slandered that of a noble in the city who has since had it out for the blade dancer.

Sol came to find a sweet heart in the city, a barmaid by the name of Maribelle Horfun. Her flawless skin and golden hair struck Sol at the very center of his heart and has done his best to impress and take care of her ever since. However, Maribelle has recently gone out to visit her parents in Rok'Tah. It wasn't until recently that he heard rumors that Bagne had been attacked Aphiel rushed out the door to the bar to make sure Maribelle was safe. When he arrived, however, the town was in ruins, corpses everywhere including Maribelles parents but no Maribelle to be found.

## In the party

He met the group after they left Nekropolis, on their way to Forger's Delta. He had just left Rok'Tah and wanted to get revenge on the undead for killing his girlfriend and her family. He followed them to Forger's Delta, fought in the arena for some gold, lost, and had a 900 gold tab at the tavern his girlfriend worked at. The group left the next morning for Nekroplis, after hearing it was under attack. They bought horses and headed for Nekropolis and arrived about 36 hours later. The group made their way to the capital and talked to the leaders. After insulting the leaders, and the God of this realm, he seemed to have lost the light in his eyes then was quickly decapitated by one of the guards.

## After the party

He currently spends his days living in the bag of holding, the group's gold keeping his severed head company as he waits for them to dump it and the rest of his dead body somewhere.

Bird-Girl

File:Bird-Girl.jpeg

"**Bird-Girl**" was a 54th generation avian-human hybrid. She first appeared in *The Angel Experiment* when the Flock saved her and the other mutants from the Institute for Higher Living.

## History

After Max unlatched the door to her cage, she asked the Flock who they were and why they were doing it, to which Max responded by saying, "Kids don't belong in cages." As they were navigating through the sewer, she also asked where they were. She was one of the few mutants who would speak.

The bird-girl was terrified of Ari when he appeared in the tunnels, though Max distracted her by handing her a small mutant she'd been holding. During Max's fight with Ari, Fang and the second flock managed to get to safety; afterwards, the bird-girl—unwilling to stay with the original Flock—took the second flock away. Fang remarked that she "wouldn't take no for an answer."

## Appearance

The bird-girl was described as being older than the other mutants, looking about ten years old, and as having fine features. Her wings also tucked in tight against her side.

Slick Slinky

## Appearance

Halfling Lightfoot Rogue. Sandy brown hair with hazel eyes.

## Background

Slick Slinky's parents had been set upon by the wanderlust while his mother was pregnant and thinking of what a wonderful adventure it would be they left to travel the world.  They continued on their journey after he was born and had stopped in a seaside port along the coast of Fullenbruck and were trying to secure passage for a trip to Demari when his mother had inadvertently placed his basket down on a stack of cargo that was loaded into the hull of tradering ship The Wanderer.

Several days into the voyage, luckily for Slick, the crew heard his crying while doing a routine inspection of the cargo hull before a gale was blowing in. They brought the infant halfling to Captain Azre Telracs as known as La Raina Del Sur. Thru the milk of various animals that were aboard the ship for delivery they kept him fed and alive.  Upon reaching their destination several months later, the Captain had grown fond of the small child and decided that she would raise him as her own.  The crew agreed and aided in his learning process thru the years of sailing and sleight of hand. It was they that gave him the name Slick Slinky for always being in places he should not be and acquiring items that may not have necessarily been his.

He grew to be a great sailor (in his own opinion) and aided the captain in obtaining items and negotiations as the years progressed. He met many different races of the world and thru his interactions with other Halflings in ports or while seeking passage, he learned of the Halfling lore and the God who is known as the Platinum Dragon aka Paladine who in the Halfling lore is known as Fizban.

During one of their voyages returning to port in Fullenbruck, The Wanderer was attacked and boarded by several ships.  After a heroic fight, Captain Telracs was stuck down and the remaining crew executed by hanging, the ship searched and Captain Telracs personal chest of items stolen, then set fire and sank.  Slick Slinky being of smaller in size was able to climb into a half empty barrel of water and survive. Floating along with the current he eventually ended back in the Demari Kingdom.

While being stuck on land and nothing else to do, the wanderlust started creeping into his head and he began once more to travel and eventually made his way to Forgers Delta where he heard of an expedition heading further north to go search for some undead. Having never seen anything undead he thought this would be a great time and volunteered his services for the endeavor.

He is currently seeking knowledge of who attacked The Wanderer and killed all of his friends and what was in the chest that had been stolen. Also he has sworn to kill a certain dragon.

## In the party

He may have accidentally acquired some gold from a dragon. It is quite clearly a big misunderstanding.
Vizzindria

Vizzindria is a small kingdom in the world of Inion, holding a small population of roughly twelve-thousand citizens. It is a predominantly human kingdom, with sprinkled communities of elves, halflings, and dwarves. The kingdom surveys a relatively small amount of land in comparison to most other countries, being situated on a continent of land that floats above the skyline.

## Landscape

   Vizzindria's population is seperated in several city and town districts scattered across it's coasts and at its center. The land covers roughly seven million square kilometers in area, spanning miles of grasslands and light forest. A single mountain peak towers above into the skies, Wyntry's Peak, named after Margov Wyntry, the first man to scale the mountain. Though the continent flies past the peaks of some mountainous regions on land, the atmosphere is warm and comfortable, allowing flora and fauna to thrive unimpeded by the harsh cold and dryness of the surrounding skies. Smaller islets that have broken off of the main continent float closely beside the coasts.

### Penrith *(Represented as 9 On Map)*

Penrith is a smaller, rural town located on the south-western coast of the floating continent. It holds the smallest population of all settlements on the continent, barely breaking two-hundred inhabitants. This quaint collection of simplistic wooden buildings and traditional homes is jammed between two open plains of farmland. The town and it's people are responsible for tending to the miles of farmland and thousands of herding livestock that feed and clothe the kingdom's people. The town's people enjoy a quiet, simplistic life, away from the bustling lifestyle that other settlements provide.
Nekropolis

Once home to the Goblins, now a ruin. Of a ruin.

## Background

About 400 years before the town was discovered by the group, the town was a trade city called Lacot. Lacot had a population of about 5000 people, with a mix between Elf, Halfling and Human. It had many stores, a large open market, a few taverns and a lake for fishing and swimming.

## The Siege of Lacot

In the winter months, the 5 goblins came to the town and asked for a place to stay for the winter. The mayor told them no and had them thrown out, and said that if they came back, they'd be killed. Not liking this, the goblins came back with some hired help and sieged the town, killing civilians and guards with ease. They captured the mayor and gathered the remaining townsfolk in the market, giving a speech on how they came there looking for a place to stay, but since they were goblins, were kicked out and threatened. They killed the mayor and the rest of the townsfolk, taking the town for themselves. After taking the town, it was quickly renamed Nekropolis.

## After the Siege

The town slowly started to fall apart and those who stayed after the siege, died or left soon after. The goblins were not happy with anything and began enacting strange or harsh laws. No one could do anything about it, since they were immortal, so they all just left. Now with an empty town, goblins from all over came, hearing about a town just for goblins away from everyone, ruled by gods. And that is exactly what they found. The town had a large population boom over the next hundred years, followed by a slow decline. By the time the group had come to the town, there was only 50 goblins left.

## Dragons!

After the party came to the town, they agreed to help open trade with a nearby town, since they desperately needed food after the destruction of Bagne, who they had a trade agreement with. The group went to Hagrove where they talked with the leader, who turned out to be a Ancient Dragon polymorphed into a High Elf. The party left Hagrove and told the leaders this information and they all decided to leave, move to Fullenbruck and start a new town there. The party left Nekropolis to complete their quest then come back a week later. 2 days after they left, the dragon attacked, destroying the town and killing most of the goblins. The group arrived 2 days later and they all quickly left Nekropolis.

## After the Destruction

After the town had been abandoned, wild animals moved in and ate all the dead goblins, leaving a few scattered bones in the otherwise destroyed town.
99 Percenters

The **99 Percenters**, more formally known as the **Apocalypticas**, are an organization that was first mentioned in *Nevermore*. They planned to continue the work of the Doomsday Group by reducing the world's population by ninety-nine percent, meaning that they would "obliterate all non-enhanced people."

## Trivia

* It is said by Fang in *Nevermore* that "The Apocalypticas make the Doomsday Group look like a glee club."
Macintosh Portable

The **Macintosh Portable** was a portable computer manufactured and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. from September 1989 to October 1991.

## Why it Flopped

1. Its lead acid battery would completely fail when discharged fully.
2. The charger included with the computer did not power the computer by itself, due to a very low power output it was only able to charge the battery attached to the computer. If no battery was inserted (or of course if the battery failed), it was impossible to turn the computer on even if the included charger was plugged in.
3. It was too heavy to be moved easily, weighing at around 16.5 pounds.
4. It cost too much, with the price starting at $7,300 in 1989, which is equivalent to $14,104 in 2016.

## Redeeming Qualities

1. It was the first portable computer by Apple that ran on batteries.
2. It has a SCSI mode that allows it to be used as a hard drive for other computers.
3. The computer had an active matrix panel.
Texas Instruments TI-99/4

The **Texas Instruments TI-99/4** is a home computer, released October 1979 in the United States at a price of $1,150.

## Why It Flopped

1. Letters could only be typed in uppercase.
2. The computer was only compatible with its proprietary display, a bulky 13-inch Zenith TV.
3. No option for an 80 column display mode at launch.
4. Only a limited selection of hardware was available.
5. The computer was eventually sold for such a low price of $99, people began thinking that the computer was of very low quality and that Texas Instruments had to drop the price to make it sell.

## Redeeming Qualities

1. It is the first 16-bit computer ever released.
Windows 98 (NES Bootleg)

***Windows 98*** is a bootleg port of Microsoft's Windows 98 (codenamed **Memphis** while in development) operating system for the Famicom, made by Chinese developer Bei Tongfang (Chinese: 北同方), most likely released sometime in the early 2000s.

## General

The conversion is somewhat accurate on a superficial level, and seems to exist to demonstrate what features the real Windows 98 has as oddly, none of the programs actually function properly. Even basic features such as the calculator and the volume slider do not function, (the latter due to the complete lack of sound) and unlike most bootleg OSes developed for the Famicom none of the Family BASIC programs are included.

## Why It Sucks

1. Most programs in this bootleg such as Internet Explorer, MS-DOS Prompt, and some folders in the cartridge are unfunctional.
2. The BIOS in this version of Windows 98 is fake.
3. 8-bit photos left in the hard drive such as Pikachu, a camel, a math sum, as well as a snowman and many more.
4. No sound at all, this is what causes many programs to not function well if not at all.
5. Most of this bootleg is in Chinese, meaning that there is only a little bit of English.
6. Leftover programs also don't function such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Photoshop.
7. This is a game that doesn't qualify as a game, as in real life, Windows 98 is an operating system, not an actual game.

## Redeeming Qualities

1. The graphics are faithful to the real Windows 98.
2. The color palette looks really good, just like in real Windows 98.
3. The Soho homepage on Internet Explorer is based on a real page that still exists, you can visit it here: http://www.sohu.com/
Jackie

**Jackie** is one of the "silo girls" Gazzy and Iggy met in *Maximum Ride Forever*. However, she is not seen in any of the other *Maximum Ride* books.

## History

Iggy and Gazzy traveled across America searching for PAtunnelratt, a commenter on Fang’s blog who had survived in an underground silo in West Pennsylvania. They were ambushed by a band of heavily-armed teenaged girls who lived in a similar silo. Although they had not heard of the blog commenter, they said that there were lots of underground silos in the area. They survived partly by hunting wild game in the woods.

Jackie thinks the boys are from the Doomsday Group at first, but they manage to convince her that they mean no harm. The girls put them to work cleaning sewage on the lowest level of the silo.

Gazzy calls the silo girls “hardcore.” They later join Angel’s army in Russia. Their final fate is unkown.

## Appearance

Jackie is described as having dreadlocks and a crossbow.
IBM Deskstar 75GXP

The **IBM Deskstar 75GXP** is a line of six hard drive storage devices created by IBM, ranging in capacity from 15 to 75 GB. It became infamous around 2001 for their reportedly high failure rates and dubbed as the "Deathstar" after the galactic superweapons of the same name in the *Star Wars* space opera franchise.

## Why it Flopped

1. As said before it had a high failure rate.
2. The magnetic coating will start to loosen and sprinkle off from the platters, creating dust in the hard disk array which leads to crashes over large areas of the platters.

## Lawsuit

Despite failures being reported within the manufacturer warranty period of three years, Michael T. Granito, Jr., an American user of IBM's 75GXP hard drives, filed a class-action lawsuit against IBM on 16 October 2001 for defects in the product causing it to "crash", with both of the drives he'd bought having failed within a short time. IBM was found to have misled its customers about the reliability of the drives. Without admitting responsibility, they settled this lawsuit in 2005, agreeing to pay $100 to every user whose Deskstar 75GXP drives had failed. The settlement related to the following family of IBM Deskstar 75GXP HDD models: DTLA 307-015; DTLA 307-020; DTLA 307-030; DTLA 307-045; DTLA 307-060; DTLA 307-075; the Deskstar 40GV was not included in the litigation.
Microsoft

**Microsoft Corporation** is an American multinational technology company with headquarters in Redmond, Washington. It develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, consumer electronics, personal computers, and services.

## Why They Suck (For the most part)

1. They are a somewhat horrible company on the gaming side of things.
2. Internet Explorer was a horrible browser, with many security issues. Microsoft Edge, it's successor, had the same issues.
3. The Windows Store introduced in Windows 8 was jam packed with junkware and scams.
4. Horrible customer support.
5. Some of their operating systems were garbage, such as Windows Vista, which had tons of security issues to the point that Microsoft had to fix most of them.
6. They tried to get people to upgrade to Windows 10 for free through questionable tactics such as **downloading the update without permission.**

## Redeeming Qualities

1. They actually revolutionized the PC market, and some of their operating systems are highly regarded as the greatest OS' of all time.

Microsoft Bob

"Boot screen of Microsoft Bob."

**Microsoft Bob** was a add-on released in 1995 for Microsoft 3.1.

## Why It Flopped

1. *Bob* required a minimum of a 486 with 8 MBs of RAM, 30 MBs of free disk space, and 256 color VGA. Many computers of the day did not meet these minimum requirements.
2. *Bob* was not useful enough to justify its initial sale price of almost $100.
3. It quickly became outdated since *Windows 95*, which was released later that year, had the new Windows Explorer user interface, which wiped the floor with *Bob*.
4. Despite being advertised as not requiring an instructions manual, a pseudo-magazine included explains the basic functions. Not only that, but the software itself contains the instructions, which are pages long, and do not allow any form of interactivity with the interface, unless exited.
5. The game will just give you the Blue Screen Of Death whenever it wants to.
6. It has a add-on called "Great Greetings" Yes, **an add-on to a add-on!** all it did though was just add new items.

## Trivia

* Due to it being so hated, when Windows 10 came out, many likened it to Microsoft Bob.
* It marked the first appearance of Comic Sans.

## Modern Updates

* We are in the process of updating the Bob email application to use SMTP & POP3 instead of the dead MCI service. Get more info on Bob at https://msbob.org - Also Great Greetings did not just add objects, it allowed you to create electronic greeting cards. Comic Sans was developed for Bob but was not actually used in it.
New Internet Computer

The **New Internet Computer** is a type of computer made by the New Internet Computer Company. The computer sold fewer than 50,000 units, far less than the target of five million. In June 2003, the New Internet Computer Company was disbanded.

## Why it Flopped

1. It was released too early, so it had to work using incredibly slow dial-up connections.
2. Also, web based services such as Microsoft Office Online and Google Docs did not exist, so there was hardly any software for the computer.
3. No hard drive was included in the computer, so a CD based OS was used instead. This also meant that there was no way to install software to work offline.

## Redeeming Quality

1. It costed only $199, excluding the monitor.
AMD Radeon RX M400

The **AMD Radeon RX M400** is a mobile GPU released by AMD in 2016.

## Why It Fails

1. Poor efficiency. It uses an extreme amount of power meaning low battery life and potential to damage other components in the computer.
2. It performs a lot worse than the AMD Radeon RX 400 due to having only 896 stream processors compared to the 2048 SPUs of the AMD Radeon RX 400.
Apple III

The **Apple III** was a computer manufactured and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. from May 1980 to April 1984.

## Why it Flopped

1. There are no cooling fans. According to most accounts, Steve Jobs insisted that the machine design must have no cooling fan; with the system's aluminum case being used to serve as a heat sink instead. This caused overheating of the computer, causing the circuit boards to warp and dislodge the chips out of their sockets. The overheating issue caused a recall that ruined the reputation of the computer making it end up not selling much more products.
2. Apple III crammed too many components into a too small case.
Apple Lisa

The **Apple Lisa** is a desktop computer developed by Apple.

## Why it Flopped

1. Incredibly high price even for the time, at an initial price of US$9,995.
2. Awful performance. Its slow CPU and resource heavy OS, called the Lisa Office System, causes it to run very slow.
3. The operating system is prone to crash then restart under heavy load from large, complex spreadsheets, or graphs produced from them.
4. Poor reliability for the Apple FileWare floppy disks, code named "Twiggy" after the English model of the same nickname.
5. The external hard drive component takes a while to initialize before you can turn on the computer.
6. Extremely limited program availability. Due to the fact that the Lisa Office System could not be used to write programs for itself, and thus a separate development OS, called Lisa Workshop, was required to develop programs, third party program availability did not go past a Unix offering for $495.

## Redeeming Qualities

1. It was one of the first personal computers to offer a graphical user interface (GUI) in a machine aimed at individual business users.
2. The operating system included with the Apple Lisa featured protected memory and a more document-oriented workflow. It also had cooperative multitasking, a feature that would not be added to the Macintosh System operating system until the MultiFinder extension was introduced on August 11, 1987.
Central Park

In *The Angel Experiment*, the Flock visits **Central Park** several times during their stay in New York.

## History

While flying over Manhattan Island, Iggy hears music from below. Nudge says that it must be a concert, and after begging for Max to let them go to it, they fly down, land among some oak trees, and head into the crowd. Once there, they learn that the performers are two people named Natalie and Trent Taylor, also known as the Taylor Twins—a personal favorite of most of the Flock.

The next day, as the Flock is being pursued by Erasers, they find a crowd of schoolkids being herded into the Central Park Zoo. They merge with the crowd and get waved in, then they leave after a brief visit.

That night, after visiting the library in an attempt to find out more about The Institute for Higher Living, they decide to sleep in the park's trees again.

Later, after another Eraser attack, they head back to Central Park; however, the next morning, they find New York policemen parked under their trees. As the Flock makes a run for it, Angel loses Celeste, leaving her heartbroken.
Red Ring of Death

The "**Red Ring of Death**" is a failure mode of the Xbox 360 console developed by Microsoft, named after the three flashing lights that show when the console is affected by this issue. This issue was common on the original model of the Xbox 360.

## Background

Warning signs may include freeze-ups, graphical problems in the middle of gameplay, such as checkerboard or pinstripe patterns or strange green blotches on the screen, and sound errors; mostly consisting of extremely loud noises that can be affected by the volume control, and the console only responds to pressing the power button to turn it off.

This error code is usually caused by failure of one or more hardware components, although it can indicate that the console is not receiving enough power from the power supply, which can either be due to a faulty power supply or if the power supply cable is not fully inserted into the console.

The 3 flashing lights can also be caused by power surges; if the console is connected to an outlet that receives a power surge, it may have a failure and the 3 lights will appear as long as the console is plugged into the outlet. Turning off the console, unplugging all power cables and plugging them back in, and restarting the console may fix this issue in some cases.

## Reaction

In the early months after the console's launching, Microsoft stated that the Xbox 360's failure rate was within the consumer electronics industry's typical 3% to 5%. Nevertheless, Microsoft has not released its official statistics on the failure rate of the various versions of the console.

On July 5, 2007, Peter Moore, the Vice President of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business division published an open letter recognizing the console's problems, as well as announcing a three-year warranty from the original date of purchase for every Xbox 360 console that experiences the "general hardware failure" indicated by three flashing red LEDs on the console.
Simasimac

**Simasimac** is a hardware failure mode of the Macintosh SE/30 computer. Over time the capacitors installed in the motherboard break and eventually start leaking. This causes issues with the system, potentially causing the system to not boot at all and instead show black and white lines on the monitor.

Chocolate chip cookies

File:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg

**Chocolate chip cookies** were Dr. Valencia Martinez's signature baked treat and Max's favorite food. All though they really don't matter much, they are still the flock's favorite food. They are also used to insult Anne Walker, the Director of the School, where Max says "You can't even make proper cookies." They were first introduced in *The Angel Experiment*.

## History

### *The Angel Experiment*

Chocolate chip cookies made their first appearance in Chapter 46, before Max returned to the Flock and after she and the Martinezes had dinner. After nearly getting sick on raw cookie dough and getting high on the fumes of the baking treats, she almost burned her tongue on one after they were taken out of the oven. Max had at least two that night and remarked that they tasted like home.

Later on in the novel, Max remembered what the cookies had been like and said that they'd been the best cookies she'd ever had.

While the Flock was walking through New York, Max spotted a Mrs. Fields and went inside with Angel. Inside, they bought more cookies, though Max told the reader that they weren't as good as the homemade ones. Later, as part of a personal mission, Max and the Flock bought several different brands of chocolate chip cookies to see if any of them were as good as Dr. Martinez's.

## Trivia

* Throughout the series, Max recognized the cookies in many places, such as supermarkets, meetings, etc.
	+ They reminded her of Dr. Martinez and Ella and the home she left behind temporarily in the first book, before she knew they were her blood family.
	+ She also fantasized about teaching Nudge and Angel how to make them herself.
	+ In testing one of the store-bought cookies, Max gave a rave review, talking about the "hint of brown sugar" and saying that was a "very honorable cookie". When she asked Fang about it, he shrugged and said it was "okay".
