No one can say I am not a geek, since I have at least one computer in each room of my house -- including a bathroom computer, Eliminator. :p

These are the names of my computers:

Archive
Babylon5
DeLorean
Eliminator
Firewall
Graphics
HAL-9000
Hercules
Skylab
Stargate
Vader
Wombat
Xena

I also have an Amiga 2000 who is not on the network; poor thing, I've never given her a name.

I call my computer lots of names... none that I would print for risk of later issues. Plus since I am using it right now I don't want to anger it.

See sig...don't remember why I picked this scheme. Something about "Flight of the Navigator" and the crew of a WWII bomber. (My main workstation used to be Navigator, before it got rebuilt as Bomber.)

My monitor has a lable that says "Who's Your Daddy" from back in the Quake days. :D It also says "Pochacco Trinitron" on it (sticker).

I have the same "Who's Your Daddy" label on my computer case running down the side of it (it's half as long as my case) and also "Sakuya" from Tenchi. Also shows up as Sakuya on my network. :D

my pc = my pc
my laptop = my laptop. or my Vaio.

No names for my stuff.......

but I have named some other things:

my glasses = My pulling glasses
my phone = my pulling phone
my MD = my pulling MD

Pulling as these things attract the girls when I out and about......
