Slogan	If it doesn't say Compy, it might not be a computer.

Compy, Inc. is the name of the company that manufactures the Compy 386, the Lappy 486, the Compé, the Roomy-Vac, the Grampy Aught-Six, the Lappier, the Compy Phone and probably the Compydore 64.

The name probably has multiple real-world references. The loading screen for the game Population: Tire indicates a parody of Commodore International. The name "Compy" and the overall look of the computer itself is somewhat evocative of Compaq Computer Corporation, which happened to produce a Compaq 386. The logo is reminiscent of the IBM logo.

Also, the 80386 and 80486 (commonly just called the 386 and 486) were early Intel processors, another reference to Strong Bad's preference for older technology.

Legal & archival notice

Mirror of Homestar Runner Wiki. This site is an independent mirror / archive of content originally published on Homestar Runner Wiki (hrwiki.org). Because a wiki is a living document, some pages here may differ from the source: material may have been edited after the snapshot used for this mirror, and migration or conversion may have introduced changes.

Homestar Runner original content. Characters, names, artwork, media, and other original content owned by The Brothers Chaps (Mike and Matt Chapman / Homestar Runner) appear here under fair use for purposes of commentary, criticism, education, and documentation of that work. No claim of ownership is made over such material. All rights in Homestar Runner original content remain with their respective owners.

Archival purpose. Content originating from Homestar Runner Wiki is preserved here for archival and historical reference because the original site has long been unreliable and difficult to access consistently. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Brothers Chaps or the operators of the original hrwiki.org.

How this site is run. HR Wiki Twice is maintained by a long-time fan who pays the hosting and related costs out of pocket. It is run at a loss: there is no advertising, and donations are not accepted. This is a labor of love, offered so that this community’s body of knowledge can remain freely available online.
