My computer's name is cardboard....heh i called it that because when i first got all of my parts, i couldn't afford a case....so i made a wonderful cardboard box into a case. :-) it was really cool....and thus the name stuck....i still can't afford a case, so i just grab the hand-me-downs that my brother gives me :-)

And the recently deceased backup box was named Graceland.

Fearless_Hyena 07-31-2003 03:46 PM

I used to work with some dude (crazy oldtimer) who named all of his nodes after his dead realatives!!! So you would have like bertha.xxx.xxx.edu and mary and bill and wilbur and so on. isn't that bizarre as hell!!!

hehehe anyway i'm not an admin anymore but my workstation used to be comicbookguy (from the simpsons) :D

Rav 07-31-2003 04:17 PM

Each person in the house has their own computer (desktop or laptop) with their own name as the computer name.

Otherwise:
Fileserver = Ravenclaw
Extra Storage/Backup = Griffindor
Mail Server = Hufflepuff

Catching on with the Harry Potter?

6 machines total... Gonna need 1 more box to complete Harry Potter!

OK Computer

she is going to have to get a new name, now that she is upgraded a whole heck of a lot.

macthelist 08-12-2003 04:46 PM

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....

emachine :(

Cedar 08-12-2003 05:37 PM

Yay! I thought I was the only person in the world who named her computer. I have a Sony Vaio laptop, so she needed a Japanese name. I named her Keiko, after Keiko Abe, one of the greatest performers and composers for the marimba that ever lived.

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