Re: Named Computers
 

I don't name my computers, but the best names I've heard were a Vax cluster at AARP with machines named Bartles, James, Wine, and Cooler. (Ask your parents if you don't understand this.)

As I said, I don't name my computers, but I do have a special set of hand gestures I use only on them.

Re: Named Computers
 

Close Mads, very close.

Godzilla - My Primary Desktop, she's a powerhouse so it fits.
Mothra - Living room machine, got some kick but it's subpar compared to 'zilla
Megalon - Dell Axim X30H Pocket PC
Ghidorah - Madison's (defunct) Toshiba
King Ghidorah - Madison's yet unnamed new laptop ;)
Destoroyah - My Dell Inspiron 6000
Godzooky - My Compaq Presario 1700 (Does anyone get that?)
Orga - I think that's the old XBOX actually...
Rodan - The Xbox 360
Godzilla 2000 - Win2k domain server (under contruction)

The domain will be 'MONSTER-ISLAND' and the wifi SSID is 'monster'.

In the lab at school our servers were:

1337-CNT-GAME - CounterStrike server (yeah.. teacher never saw that one)
1337-CNT-FILE - Linux Samba server
1337-CNT-NIDS - Snort test box
1337-CNT-CDT1 - CD Tower Number 1
1337-CNT-CDT2 - CD Tower Number 2
1337-CNT-CDT3 - CD Tower Number 3
1337-CNT-CDT4 - CD Tower Number 4
1337-CNT-BDC1 - Backup Domain Controller 1
1337-CNT-MGMT - Primary Domain Controller
1337-CNT-MGT1 - Primary ScanTEK Server
1337-CNT-MGT2 - Backup ScanTEK Server

CNT is the class name, 1337 is well...1337 :) and we agreed on the four letter naming convention for simplicity.

I love naming computers.
