Nabu's consort was  Tashmetum.Originally, Nabu was a West Semitic deity introduced by the Amorites into Mesopotamia, probably at the same time as Marduk. While Marduk became Babylon's main deity, Nabu resided in nearby Borsippa in his temple E-zida. He was first called the "scribe and minister of Marduk", later assimilated as Marduk's beloved son from Sarpanitum. During the Babylonian New Year Festival, the cult statue of Nabu was transported from Borsippa to Babylon in order to commune with his father Marduk.

The Nabu Network was a microcomputer system which was linked to a precursor of the Internet in the 1980s primarily in Ottawa, Canada. It is now obsolete but was then revolutionary, if unsuccessful.Families would buy a Nabu Network PC, which would be connected via cable TV to Nabu's servers. The PC had all the capabilities of a normal PC, but in addition would download software and information content through the cable feed and could upload primitive information back up to the servers. Applications included games, the programming language Logo, news/current events, and primitive PC banking/shopping. Connection speeds were on the order of 6 Mbit/second. The Nabu Network PC cost $950 CAD, approximately the same price as other PCs at the time, and the network service cost $8 to $10 per month.[1]

Noun
1. Babylonian god of wisdom and agriculture and patron of scribes and schools
(synonym) Nebo
(hypernym) Semitic deity
(classification) Babylon

[Mesopotamian] Ancient Sumero-Babylonian god of knowledge and writing, scribe of the gods. He is regarded as the son of Marduk.

Nebo, Nabu, Nabi' nebo (Hebrew) The proclaimer by prophecy; one of the chief deities of the Chaldean or Babylonian pantheon, the god of wisdom, recognized as fully by the ancient Hebrews as by the Chaldeans. The name and function of the divinity correspond to the Greek Hermes, the Egyptian Thoth, and the Hindu Budha, all of which are related to the regent of the planet Mercury.
Mercury throughout antiquity was always called the interpreter, often in the sense of a prophet or of one able to prophesy; Nebo from time immemorial has been the name for an initiate, an adept, particularly among certain Shemitic peoples, such as the Hebrews. Among other Shemites, such as the Assyrians and Chaldeans, this name forms a part of compound proper names, such as Nebuchadnezzar, Nabopolassar, and Nabonassar.
Nebo was among the Chaldeans and other peoples a god of the secret wisdom, and that particular divinity in those lands guiding the inner development of his children or little ones -- names for initiated adepts.
The principal seat of his worship appears to have been at Borsippa (opposite the city of Babylon) where a temple-school flourished until the end of the neo-Babylonian empire -- even surviving the conquest of Babylonia by Cyrus (538 BC). His original character cannot now be determined and he may have been a solar deity, although associated with water.
