"Coming right up, Mister Runner."

The Arturo 9000, or simply "Arturo", is Homestar Runner's microfiche reader. It displays images and clips during Hremails, and has the ability to speak (in a Spanish-accented voice). The Arturo 9000 seems to have replaced the Happy 8600, which Strong Bad destroyed with Mountain Dew in email thunder. Unlike the Happy 8600, the Arturo 9000 does not actually display the emails that Homestar receives; instead Homestar chooses to read his emails off of a sheet of paper.

The Real Computer

The Arturo 9000 is modeled after the Alto, an early personal computer developed by Xerox. It was the first computer to use the desktop metaphor and graphical user interface (GUI).
