No, as much as I :heart: my computer, it is just my computer, and my other computers are 'my laptop', 'my backup desktop' and 'my HTPC'

Edit: My comptuer is also known as 'my desktop' or 'my athlon 64'

my computer, which went on fire last night, has been called "oven" for over 4 years (that doesn't include the upgrades and all, so don't think i'm using a pos for my oven) :)

my linux box has been called microwave... and for some reason, i preferred to call my laptop toaster

kitchen theme is cool... and unique (unless one of you bastards copies me) :D

Sadly, yes. I named it after a Commodore 64 BBS I used to run.... '9th Nebula' (ds-2 v2 - man those were the days)... 'meltdown' is from my hardcore Duke Nukem days several years after that.
