After the initial shock of Winslow not dolphin diving into the SoftBoy chassis, I must say that his new appearance is pretty nice.
But yeah Pintsize is going to completely push Winslow around even in his new, full sized humanoid form. Maybe not physically but when has Pintsize needed the use of physical force.

Here's a question if any one is putting together a Qc-based trivia game:
How many times have iPod-body-Winslow and Dora appeared in the same *frame*?
(click to show/hide)Zero. The closest they ever got to sharing a frame was 739.
WareWolf:
I found it interesting that one of the first things Winslow did was literally beg Hannelore not to send him back to his old chassis: "I'll do anything, I'll get a job, I'll disinfect the apartment every day." What struck me was the feeling of desperation and fear in the bargaining. I recall Momo doing the same thing when Marigold got her her new chassis, promising to work 24/7 because she didn't need sleep.
Now, neither owner/companion had shown any evidence of making them go back. In Marigold and Momo's case, insecurity was a little bit more understandable, because Marigold's not that well off financially, and it appears that a new chassis is pretty expensive. That's not the case with Hanners, and yet, Winslow seemed to feel a real fear that she'd use her ownership rights to stuff him back into his beige box.
I just think that says something interesting about Human/AnthroPC relations. Even the most benevolent owner is still an owner, and the owned still experiences insecurity and fear. No one who's owned, though we're told they have rights that must be respected, can ever rest easy.
EDIT: I'm not getting you down at all, am I? I'd hate to think I was getting anybody down.
Is it cold in here?:
If we've got the right picture of how the laws of the QC world have changed since the strip started, then if Winslow had had money of his own then Hannelore would have had no power over his choice.

Well that was an interesting choice of companion AI by the test.
