What's the name of your computer?

[Christoffer Lernö]

Have you named your harddrive(s)? Your computer? Does it still say "My Computer" on the desktop or does the poor thing actually have a name?

Me first:

Computer: "Yggdrasil"
Harddrive: "Jormungandr"

(it's a 12" iBook 800)

[Shreyas Sampat]

My laptop is named Cassilda.  The desktop before that was either Cassandra or Callisto... yes, I do name my computers after women in Greek plays.
My sister named my mom's computer Walter a few months ago.

[Ben Morgan]

Okay, I guess I'm boring. My computer is still My Computer, and my two hard drives are System and Data (though it should probably more aptly be named Games, since that's the majority of what's on it).

I used to have some floppy disks named Alvin, Simon, and Theodore...


Stuart

[Brian Leybourne]

I have a variety of systems, named Grey Wind, Ghost, Summer, Lady, and Nymeria. The next one I buy will be Shaggy Dog, of course. I'm not quite sure where the names will go after that :-)

Orb. I have a thing for spiders...

Hey all,

Computers must have names. How could someone neglect his (that's the gender unknown pronoun in English) computer so by leaving her (that's the personification pronoun in English -- nootch) unnamed?

My computer is Inferno, and my second computer, when I need a LAMP machine, is Spawn.

Later,
Grant

I've got G3 Baby! and Homey's Hardrive.

BTW, unlike here, most of my long time friends refer to me as Homey. As in Homey da Clown, or more appropriately as in "Homey don't play dat." An essentially Ironic monicker, because there is little that I don't play.

Made the more ironic because I resemble Homer Simpson in many ways, and I have a wife named Marjorie. Scary. No, I was not crazy enough to name my son Bart. Though he looks and acts like that already at the age of two.

G3 at work: deadflag
Athlon at home: bblackheart
FreeBSD box back in Alberta: fuckinyoda
Linux router back in Alberta: taintedlove

[Trevis Martin]

My Mac is Keter (Crown)
My two Hard Drives are Chokmah (Wisdom) and Binah (Understanding)

My PC's name is Snorlax. Yes, like the Pokemon.

1. It has a shiny Snorlax sticker on it.
2. The loud hum of all the fans inside it lull me to sleep.

[Andy Kitkowski]

Heh.  I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Yeah, I've named all of my home PCs and servers after characters in The Tale of Genji. The ones that come up most are (like, if I retire one system and bring in another, I make sure at least two of the systems are named) Yuugiri and Oboruzuki.

[Stuart DJ Purdie]

Hmm.  Well, I don't name hard drives, because they are mounted in specific places (Yep, UNIX propellor head all the way).

So, in my room, I have

Bohr: pentium 266 for the floks
Columb:  Old 486-25
Dirac: main machine, K6-II 400
Einstein: Pentium 266
Fermi: SparcStation 4

At work, they have horribly functional names, which is good, otherwise I'd be all the way through Z and back round to G again.

Gibbs soon, when I can afford to populate a Tyan MP-X board (yummy!).

Oh, and there is wired, stoned, smashed and (soon) cracked, the student computing socities servers.

[Chris Passeno]

My PC is still My Computer

My Mac (built in 89): is called Macenstein cause it's a piecemeal project.  The hard-drive is called Alpha.
