I name any server I set up after a British car company; i.e. my local file server is called Vauxhall! It's an odd naming system but hey it works. None of my other machines have a name though...

that can't last long surely, i mean, there aren't many that are owned by british companies any more, mostly all gm or ford now

you would need a bunch of solid state drives to pull out if it decides to go rogue and lock you out into the vacuum of space though

Not living in space, I have little fear of being locked outside

*Random question*
I watched the movie Hackers which is a great film and i noticed they names all there computers. Do you guys have names for your computer? Like one guy on Hackers named his pc Lucy.

Whats your computers names?

I am building a new computer right away and i plan on naming it. After i take er for a test drive of course.

I name my thumb drives and hard drives by a volume name that makes sense, or one that I just like, I do the same thing with my computers. I use mythical names usually like:

Thor
Odin
Homer
Loki
Isis
Horus

or the names that make sense

OS
Data
storage
homes


It just depends on what I am doing I guess.

I named my iMac desktop at work The Master Controller (Tron reference) because I control the whole network remotely from that machine.
