What is the name of your computer(s)?

[senectus]

Was just wondering..
For example I use the name of Characters from a series of Novels by Glen Cook called "The Black Company".
My main desktop is "one-eye" my G/F's PC is "white-rose" the server is "bigbucket" and my little laptop is "goblin".

Before running linux, when I was running M$, I called it a piece of sh**.

Now I call it Lazarus

My machine is Eniac, when I got my Mac I called it Univac. When my fiancee and I moved in together, she thought it'd be funny to call hers Abacus, because her computer is so slow.

Eniac and Univac were two of the first major computer landmarks, and an abacus, for those who don't know, is a pre-electricity way of adding without doing it in your head or on paper. With sticks and beads and such

While the reasons for it are long and sordid, my current naming convention consists of somehow-relevant female mythological beings whose names begin with the letter "E".

So, with a little work we have:

echo - The jukebox, named from Greek myth.
evaki - My desktop, named for a South American Indian Goddess of Night and Day.
eve - A fileserver, named because she serves every network type including apple.
erzulie - Primary laptop, named for a Vodoun Loa of lust. (known for getting around.)

I'm thinking of eventually redoing my naming scheme so that all my machines are named for female supervillain sidekicks, just because I'm amused with the idea of calling my main machines harley and mercy.

Yes, my girlfriend thinks I'm weird too. Of course this is coming from a woman in possession of a laptop named after a stuffed animal.

I never thought about doing this before. I guess I call her 'ole grey skin. I lost the screws to the case and banged it up a bit over the years. A couple layers of duct tape keeps 'her' together for me.

Ever since Strong Bad got "Lappy 486", I've taken to calling mine "Lappy 686". Not all that origional but it works for me.

As for the tower... I think I'll call it "Flo" for the six case fans and Thermaltake Volcano 12 I stuck in it.
