what is your computer's name?

CyberGhost · 13-12-2004 11:55am #1

I was installing windows today, and when the computer name dialog came up I just couldn't come up with some cool name. finally I just called it Dell :rolleyes:

so I was wondering what you people call your computers?

Cortex.

Gilgamesh · 13-12-2004 11:55am

Draco

seamus · 13-12-2004 11:56am

Tealc. Server will be called apophis.

I couldn't think of anything cool.

epgriffin · 13-12-2004 12:21pm

I called mine Icarus. Like the story goes if it tries to fly too high it's gonna melt, crash and burn!
As you can see i have great confidence in my machine!

Mine are all named after Heather Nova albums - Storm, South, Siren, Oyster, GlowStars, Blow. Unfortuately Heather Nova has less (studio) albums than I have computers, so there's also "Laptop" and "Obi-Lan" and the router is called "Obi-Wan"

Both are named after te three space pirate ships in Metroid Prime. If I get another box, it'll be called VolParagon.

I was also tempted by the following 3 names that appear in Zelda games frequently: Farore, Din, Nayru

Boberto · 13-12-2004 12:36pm

People seem to choose very interesting or cool sounding names.
Mine is praetorian :P
