i've never had more than 1 in use at a time, so no need to distinguish it from anything. tho i intend on getting a tibook soon. i'll prolly call it "laptop", or "titanium laptop" or "titop". or something really creative like that.
The 3 drives are named, "Startup", "MP3s" and "Excessive" (because at the time, excessive was 20gigs and 20gigs was a lot). And, actually, "Startup" isn't my boot disk, but it was during my days of os9. Excessive is the one i startup off of. (classic is still on "startup" tho)
My iBook HD is named Hobbes and my 7500 HD is named Calvin. Though i differentiate between computer names and HD names. Both of my girls (yes there chix) are unnamed.
my Macs have always been named "Oblivax" for some stupid reason. Obliviscor means forget in Latin... so I kinda made it up. Luckily. my macs have never 'forgotten' anything. I partitioned my iBook so the 2nd partition is called, "Plan B"
My work Macs were called "Calvin" and the external SCSI HD was "Hobbes". The G4 we had was called "Marvin" (with a great Looney Tunes icon), and the last G4 before I left was called "Woodstock".
My network name is something lame like "Zo's iBook"
my indigo G3 imac is called vanity, since it is blue and looked better than all the other smurfs, i mean computers...My icebook is named Snow, gee, I wonder why, And my new G4 imac will be named "The Yetti" for its strength and 17" size and color of course.
I tend to rename the drives after my SN or handle, though I've kind of stuck with calling my drive Jamos (yes I have only one partition, I have found that there are other means of organazation besides needlessly splitting my drive up into many fragments.)
While the older Macs have names like Classic and Duo, the 6400 is the BatMac.
My PC is called ook8d4 because that's what the first random name Win98 generated was. A major upgrade later and change of OS (Win2K and Linux) and I've kept the name.
If you need pronounciation help w/ the last one its
Big - boot - ay. As in John Bigboote from The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai.
Thoth
PS: I'm considering changing the iMac's name to Asswipe (pronounced the same way as bigboote), or perhaps the name of a former girlfriend, Anna Falaxis.... :cool:
Comments
My main computer is always called Wonderland. (Thus is my Powerbook 500 currently named)
My other Mac's all have different names and they can change depending upon how they currently perform.
Mac names include
Basketball Jones
Dixie Cup
Doorstop
Dinosaur
Snausages

names are fun...
