Re: Named Computers

Well, I don't name any of my computers, but I manage a few at USC that are:

The Prestonia Group (named for people, items, and concepts in Preston College at USC)
Ken (1 GHz PIII)
Zelda (733 MHz PIII)
Gatsby (450 MHz PIII) (retired)

The Towers (Four near-identical towers I got from inventory, which were named for the four near-identical towers that served as freshman dorms at USC until they closed at the end of this past year)
Douglas (retired--though I might keep it around in case)
Snowden
Moore (retired)
Laborde

The Professional Wrestlers (I rounded up some new hardware, and I just couldn't come up with another group of names.)

Hogan
Rey
