Compé
From Homestar Runner Wiki
(It is his first one that is his, which is his and not someone else's but his alone. Removing redundant redundancy, and eliminating it as well. Oh, and he appeared to have a mouse in credit card.) |
(the compé's window manager appears to support at least 2D compositing) |

The Compé (pronounced "com-PAY") is Strong Bad's newest computer, which he ordered in Compy Catalog. Like the Compy 386 and the Lappy 486, the Compé is manufactured by Compy, Inc. According to its description in the catalog, the Compé delivers European-sounding flair with Southeast-Asian-sounding prices, which apparently are Strong Bad's favorites. It cost $800, which Strong Bad paid with 80,000 pennies. It appears to have a sense of humor, bringing up a "Fragrant Error" after startup that made Strong Bad very frustrated. It then responded with "i joké". Strong Bad claims that he and the Compé "will get along just fine". Its sound effects are mainly laughs or sighs of a calm, high-pitch male voice. The keyboard is also quieter than those on Strong Bad's previous computers.
The first Strong Bad Email Strong Bad checked on it was independent. In that email, it was revealed that the Compé utilizes a graphical user interface. When Strong Bad runs the Email client program, the window is animated, suggesting that the computer runs a compositing window manager. This makes it the most technologically advanced computer Strong Bad has owned. It is also the first wide-screen computer that Strong Bad has owned, as well as the first one primarily operated with a mouse (despite his dislike of them in weird dream and redesign), or with a graphical desktop (which he calls the "best thing ever").

The Compé also sports a built-in replacement for The Paper, New Paper, and Envelope Paper: a text box with the words "Click to email Strong Bad." The sound it makes by default is a voice clip similar to the startup sound, but Strong Bad managed to customize it so it emitted The Paper's old Preeeeow. Strong Bad calls it "Compé-per" (pronounced "com-paper"). The back button links to the toons menu rather than the Strong Bad Email menu.
