Main Characters
Bob: The head of the Weiner clan, Bob prefers the company of his gadgets and PCs to spending time with friends and family. Bob's award-winning 'know-it-all' attitude keeps him safely unemployed and constantly searching for a new position in IT.
Pam: Pam's no-nonsense attitude manages to keep the Weiner family in line. When she's not busy working as a game developer at Compu-Stuff, she prefers to spend her free time reading novels, practicing yoga, and playing with her newborn.
Milton: "Born to hack!" is Milton's favorite motto. Perhaps the most inquisitive 3rd grader of his generation, Milton seems to spend much of his time taking as many short-cuts as possible, usually to no avail. A chip off the old silicon block, Milton enjoys life on 'the bleeding edge'.
Sonia: The latest addition to the Weiner family, Sonia shares many of the same traits as her family. Not quite ready to grip a mouse, she instead prefers to spend her time eating, sleeping, and breaking her daddy's expensive gadgets.
Grampa: Preferring the allure and company of beautiful, nubile young females, Grampa is quite the opposite of his son Bob when it comes to technology. When he's not working as a mechanic, Grampa can be found at any of the local clubs and pubs in the area, scoping for hotties.
Robo: Not much is known about the enigmatic Robotic-XINU, otherwise known as Robo. Robo is highly intelligent and athletic. His turn-ons include proper programming practices and UNIX. He is also known to podcast.

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or characters:
“Women are taught that their main goal in life is to serve others—first men, and later, children. This prescription leads to enormous problems, for it is supposed to be carried out as if women did not have needs of their own, as if one could serve others without simultaneously attending to one’s own interests and desires. Carried to its “perfection,” it produces the martyr syndrome or the smothering wife and mother.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“White Pond and Walden are great crystals on the surface of the earth, Lakes of Light.... They are too pure to have a market value; they contain no muck. How much more beautiful than our lives, how much more transparent than our characters are they! We never learned meanness of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
