    ^ Haha, brilliant.

    WITH MY LAST BREATH I CURSE ZOIDBERG!

    I renamed My Computer to -=MainFrame=-

    But I didn't give the actual PC a name, other than saying "God damn you!" at it a lot.

    Depends (if it's working or not...).

    I don't know why, but one day many years ago I decided I'd name all my PCs after old and/or dead musicians. Morrison and Dylan were random family PCs, my games machine that I left behind in Ireland was Hendrix, and my laptop that I currently use is Joplin.

    I'm getting a nice new gaming desktop for christmas and I'll probably call it Mercury. Then when I get some more money I'll probably pass Mercury to my wife and make a new ubergamer called Lennon :D

    Well, (on a lan at least) you have to give it some kind of name. The default of WINDOWS-Z62HN215 or something like that is a bit hard to remember :)

    That's the kiddy. Priest's names Mrs Doyle used when trying to guess Todd Unctious' name. (Although some of them are spelt wrong there, I got them from the scripts. And I still spelt hairycakelynum wrong!) Where should I send the packet of biscuits? ;)

    And for an extra point, what's Mrs Doyle's first name?
