Compy, Inc is the name of the company that manufactured the Compy 386 and the Lappy 486. The name probably has multiple real-world references.

Manolios has a flair for sales, except his stock is somewhat less than functional: he showcases a broken VCR and a smashed VHS tape in his Easter egg "commercial" for Lectro-pawn. His catchphrase, muttered in tiny letters after his more bold sales pitches, is "or something like that." | Teen Girl Squad Issue 10 | |
Metalmation is the company responsible for the first (and only) episode of Limozeen: "but they're in space!".
