|  Box Man First off let me say Hello, I am new to this site. I have just recently started looking for websites at just the start of this season, but I have been watching the show since it started. And i can see that im way behind to all of this theory stuff. It has completely changed the way that I watch the show. I have even gone back and watched old episodes to learn more. Okay enough about me, the real reason I am posting is because on the home page here, i think the writer of the part that goes "He parked Locke behind a terminal, (he called it a 'box' quite conspicuously), " (That is between the pic of Michale and 108 clock on the home page here) Was missunderstood. See what i got from all of that was when Locke and Desmond first meet Desmond asked Locke "What do you do for a living" or somthing like that, and locke replied "I work for a box company" So what Desmond said was "Do you know how to work that (pointing at the terminal) and calling Locke a Box man" Calling Locke a boxman cause he works for a box company.. Oh HELL Im sorry if this is the lamest post ever, im tried and as i said before i never do this fourm posting stuff.. But now ive gone and done it. Really though im sorry if i steped on any toes here Cause i know im a NOOB @ this.. Plz Ban me! It will make it easier on all of us.. BTW.. Cool site and ill make it better by not posting anymore... |

| Thats the way I understood it as well if im understanding what you are saying. He called Locke Box man, then when they got to the computer he said to Locke "do you know how to use this box" or something like that. /me shrugs |

| I also heard desmond call locke "box man", but.... ... remember when hurley told ... (name escaping me, the crazy repeating number guy from the institution)...Lenny!, that he had used the numbers to win the lottery? He said, you opened "the box"... maybe that means something...? |

| Well, as long as we're all freinds here, and agree that it's Okay to disagree, I pretty much heard it the way DocArtz did and wrote up on the summary. I understand what ya'll are saying, but I don't think calling the old Apple Computer 'a box' and Locke working at 'a box factory' are related in any way. Almost all technical people refer to the CPU of a desktop computer as 'the box', don't they? At least they do in my office. Course, I've been wrong before, but I wanted DocArtz to know he wasn't the only one who heard it that way.

I think he could have meant something like opening Pandora's box...like letting loose something really bad, rather than something related to computers or boxes...  | |
