These are the names of my computers:

HAL-9000
Hercules

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


I'm a little more interested in the fact that you have a camera in your bathroom ;)

My current rig is "Elysium". My laptop is "Rurouni". My old PC, soon to be sold, was "Avalon". Workgroup's called Excalibur.

My gf's PC is "Athena". My old 286 and 486 were called "Cause" and "Effect". My old printers, a LaserJet II ("Whirlwind"), and a dot matrix ("Banshee"). When I lived at university, my housemates had some fun names: "Waitress" (for the server), "Icebox" (because the guy's frat name was Fridge), "Sinbox" (he had Sextris shared), "Bob" and "Billy" (the redneck), and "H.a.L. 9000", although I had to get that changed because the dots in "H.A.L." was messing up access to that guy's network share.
