History

(Legion of Super-Heroes III #1) - Colossal Boy, who’d only ever lived at home, and then at Legion hq, got an apartment with Yera. Computo checked with them that their time at Legion hq was satisfactory, and updated his directory to indicate their new address.

(Legion of Super-Heroes III #7) -  Blok tried to get some time to himself to brood at Legion hq, but he was startled by Computo, who tried to offer him amenities. Computo gave rave reviews to a new Venturian restaurant, and Blok said he’d have to remind Brainiac 5 to program Computo to recall he didn’t eat human food.

(Legion of Super-Heroes III #9) - The Legion of Super-Heroes were reunited with their members lost in Limbo and threw a huge party, with Computo providing catering.

 (Legion of Super-Heroes III #13) - The Legion of Super-Heroes enjoyed some recreation time with Star Boy and Sun Boy playing holographic Dungeons & Dragons and Computo providing refreshments.

(Legion of Super-Heroes III #15) - Wildfire took the new Legion recruits on a training course aboard a Legion cruiser, but Dr. Regulus wrecked their vessel with a solar flare and kidnapped the rookies. Wildfire’s containment suit was destroyed, and he had to return to a Legion storage tesseract to get a new suit, grumbling that Brainiac 5 was unable to mass produce suits that gave him consistent powers. Computo initially thought he was an intruder, and Wildfire, having no patience at the moment, shot a burst of anti-energy at Computo
