Computers have adapted to multiple shapes and sizes, similar to the several hand signs for this electronic device. My ASL Dictionary has a cartoon of the security program Tron from the 1982 science fiction movie illustrating an ASL hand sign for COMPUTER. The still 2013 picture in the book uses blurs of blue light to show motion, while the animation illustrates more.
The C hand slides back and forth along the opposite forearm, or the C hand moves across the opposite forearm to arc back to repeat the motion.
In an informal variant, the thumb of the C hand is held to the forehead, moving the forearm back and forth.
