"Coming right up, Mister Runner."

The Arturo 9000 (referred to by Homestar as "Arturo") is Homestar Runner's microfiche reader. It displays images and clips during Hremails, and has the ability to speak (in a voice similar to that of A. Chimendez). The Arturo 9000 either replaced the Happy 8600, which Strong Bad destroyed with Mountain Dew in email thunder (if Hremail 62 takes place after email thunder) or is one of its predecessors (if Hremail 62 takes place before 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. This makes Arturo the first computer without an email client of any known sort that serves the main characters of the Homestar Runner body of work, excluding The King of Town's ownership of the Tandy 400.
