On that note I might rename my computer "lovelynakedladies".

John's computers at the Armory are named after HHGTTG computers.
Complete with earth, deepthought, bamboweeni, guide, &c.
I name my computers after amusing concepts. My main system is
littlegreenmen. This is mostly so that I can set up cron to
play music in the mornings and proclaim that littlegreenmen
wake me every morning. Alternatively, that I talk to/deal with
littlegreenmen quite frequently.
My latest laptop is Tuesday (marginally after His Girl Friday and
other such days). This is because
1) Tuesday is a reasonable estimate of compilation time (It's a P-120 with 16 megs).
2) "Hmm...I don't know about that. Let me look it up on Tuesday."
3) "Hey cool! Can I run that on Tuesday?"

Originally, my machines were named after the hitch hikers guide the galaxy. My first Cyrix box was called Marvin, after the paranoid android. After upgrading that to an athlon, it got renamed to Deep-Thought.
Now, my main sourcemage box (the athlon) is called Orthanc; Sarumans stronghold in Isengard which even the Ents couldn't break.
The Cyrix is now called Cyril. I'm not entirely sure why.

Hi,-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
The other day I was thinking of a name to call my computer, I tried to
come up with something related to sorcery and finally came up with
"Orb". My other box is called "Bluemoth".
I'm just wondering what people call their computers.
Duane.
