Re: Named Computers

Lessee...

Way back when, I had a slew of computers working in unison on a challenge from distributed.net. I had Lorraine (BillfredIndustries.com's ficticious secretary) Mark and Strom (after Sanford and Thurmond, since those two were state surplus), then a few others I can't remember.

My old Dell laptop was initially dubbed Dave (because, at the time, it was pimp), but I later dubbed it sold (on eBay).

For now, I'm working on "William Leverette's iBook G4" since I don't know how to change that.

Someone else already said it, but thats Wedge Antilles, who is amongst the greatest of Corellians.

My laptop is R2-GT, even had "Internet Explorer" renamed Holonet for a while.

Re: Named Computers

currently I'm on Wuzza. My other comps are QuietHealer, and Tuxedo.

QuietHealer only puts out 2 dB, so the name fits
Tuxedo is Linux, so it fits.
No idea how Wuzza came about... I let my brother name it.

Re: Named Computers

I'm afraid I'm like Kyle, I only call my computers names when they aren't working right. But if you really want to know what they are, I can post them on -www.curselikeasailor.grr.

Put I think I'll start calling my computer "Snoogy Woogy" just to be odd.
