my domain name is 'bin' and includes these nodes:
bargain (WinXP, Athlon workstation)
storage (2K server, K6, fileserver)
recycle (varies weekly, K6, testbed)
looney (WinMe, K6, games/netting/spare)
usrlocal (Axil 245, Solaris host)
cgi (K6, OpenBSD, webserver)

Then there are my pair of Quadras (BigMac and Fryzz), and older Macs (Doorstop, Footstool, Paperweight, and Anchor) respectively two Classics, a Plus, and an SE/30.

That's what's up and/or functional.
Then in storage...

My linux desktop is named "Batman"

my old iBook was named "broke" because it had no level two cache anymore (a horrible pun, but sadly true, oddly enugh it still booted and ran for 6 months with few or no errors, but quite slowly)

mustang91 07-23-2003 11:41 PM

Originally my computer was named "Odin". Funny thing was, in Norse mythology Odin hung himself on a tree, dead, for seven days to get the knowledge of the world. So last year my computer decided to die for seven days. Refused every OS I gave it, even BSOD'd a Linux install.

Seven days after it crashed, took XP Pro cleanly. I now call it Janine to solve all problems.

Bob
 
I too subscribe to the Bob naming Scheme, although i've started to deviate since too many Bobs really are a bad thing. Here goes.

Windows XP Machine: Bob-jr
FreeBSD Machine: Bob3
SPARCstation IPX: DrLazarus (points to whoever gets this reference)
SPARCstation 5: Gemini
HP Envizex: Bobhp
Wife's Computer: Bandit
386sx NetBSD: Tinybob (Retired)

I'm planning on naming my next computer Wiggles, after watching an episode of Futurama where Bender insisted on calling Fry "Wiggles" after he was made captain of the ship. I dont know why I found it funny really.

hmm.

Computer names? Pretty boring: dell, dellp, and laptop.

Now hard drives? That's a different story. My laptop's drive has always been called "Bob the Dog". Why? I can't remember.

But I'm currently typing from the safe confines of "Bob the Dog X". He's number 10 in a long line....

Ex roommate used to call her laptop "the little bastard."
