humm... the wiki disagrees with you: http://questionablecontent.wikia.com/wiki/Count_of_character_appearances :psyduck:
pwhodges:
There are bound to be some disagreements, because, for instance, it is not entirely clear when Angus first appeared. Also whether voices off are counted or not, and stuff like that.

It is rather a nice touch that the hair-colour on Momo's trial body became brighter and more saturated as she brought it to life.
But registry files? Momo has a registry? :-o Robots will never be taken seriously as sentient beings if they're running some flavour of Windows with an opaque single point of failure like that. Real operating systems store their configuration in plain text files... :laugh:

Unlike, say, a system that only runs on hardware that will be permanantly damaged or destroyed if deprive of one specific chemical element for more than a few seconds?

I get so fed up with this old chestnut. The only difference between a binary file and a text file is how easily a human can read it at a superficial level. Either may be designed with a simple or complex structure, and I assure you that I have had to poke around the internals of each just as much in real life (which in this regard extends back more than 40 years). In the last ten years I have only had two totally unexplained server crashes - one of OpenBSD 3.6 and one of Windows 2000 Server (I don't run any Linux servers*) - and at that frequency, I can't be sure that they were not caused by hardware issues (the OpenBSD machine has been running in the same hardware for six years since then, but the Windows machine concerned was replaced several years ago).
* I have a Linux music machine at home, though, and a Red Hat support qualification ;-)
