My professor bases all the names for his computers on the characters from Alice and Wonderland. The only ones I can remember were Alice (duh) and Mad-Hatter.
I never really thought to name my Powerbook until I came across this thread. I'm gonna have to put some thought into it. Althought I like "The Good Book" idea.
OMFG. That was my screen-name after the Big Black Out?... until I started seeing someone on the MacNN forums with the same name...so Jon fixed it to my 'real' name.
The reason I was 'wowed' was because of your history.

As OS10Geek, I gave you shit.
As Placebo, I gave you mild shit.
As Zed, I gave you big shit.
As an exile, I pleaded for your return.
Oh my god, are you the son I never had?
*sniff*
No, just the son who you've been lucky enough not to have.
And just because you gave me shit, you'll reincarnate as a PC nerd
BTW, who knew this would be such a successful thread?
So far the only computers i've named is my PowerMac 9600 200MP. It's called AltiVec Workstation. Then I have a 7100 which is going to be AltiVec Server.

gotten tired of that joke.
My other machine is named, er, Thoth.
I thought about naming it "asswipe" - pronounced "asswipay" -
but that was too crude.
Thoth

I like to really think outside the box and go where my imagination takes me.

Same deal here man. I don't really call it "f***ing computer" all the time. I call it my iMac, my POS, my computer.
But I wouldn't be caught dead calling a computer "Lenny" or something.

PowerMac G3 - Gilgamesh
PS2 - Oberon
Linux PC - Corwin

I don't see why anyone would give a name to a piece of metal with pretty plastic strapped on. Seems kinda girly.

Hey speak for yourself there buddy.
Naming your comp a racial slur is always good for a laugh in my book. I am a slave to whitey.
