I'd make systems LANs and computers planets.

I like your image Kevin, but perhaps a green colour for the "circuit" background?

There is a green and a red background also for variety.

Some more ideas:

I'd make planets either PCs, Unix, or Macs.

The atmospheres can represent different OSes.

Maybe minerals can be HD space, organics memory, and rads power?

That sounds intersting. But I dont even know enough operating systems to fill 5 atmospheres for each of the 3 computer types. What is the Mac OS called anyway? I can think of a few Unix and Linux OS types but not enough to fill all the types.

Mac OS, plus a number if you need to specify the version. I think the current latest is Mac OS X.

Ok. Maybe OSes as atmospheres won't work so much here (in SE:5 it would be very easy to do, ).

I don't think it matters what you call them anyway, since you can't rename the atmospheres anyway.

How about: Windoze, Mac OS, Unix, Linux, BSD.
