Re: Named Computers

Well, I named my laptop Alfred, and I have named my TI-83 Plus "Ghoti"

BTW: Ghoti is pronounced "fish".

Re: Named Computers

After I received the many parts my most recent computer came in, I noticed that the boxes the various parts had come in were severely messed up. Fed-ex had not been kind, and a family member didn't know any better but to sign with out checking the state of the boxes. So I had a bunch of computer parts that had been subjected to more trauma then they should have been.

I figured there was a 50/50 chance that something would die on startup, or with in the first day of running.

So I named it Schrodinger.

As it happens, the power supply did die.

Re: Named Computers

(Preface: This isn't the worst resurrection I've done...)

I've got a pretty standard naming scheme at my house. I wonder if anyone can guess what it's centered around? Hmm...

Desktop: Zeus
Laptop: Hermes
iPod: Apollo

I'll probably change it around to another mythology eventually, such as Japanese or Norse, though the idea of changing it to Aztec mythology doesn't appeal very much to me, as I would likely kill myself trying to remember how to properly type Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli for a computer.

Although it isn't quite as bad as Aztec mythology, all of our computers at work are named after body parts, drugs, or other random science names. (usually they have to do with brains) It isn't that bad with the Neurons (our laptops), but some of the desktop names I can't remember, for example one is named after some complex brain chemical, the one I usually use is named acetaminophen. My computers don't have much in the way of names, my first flash drive was named ShutUp for a while, but when I got my second, I decided to go to a semi-alphabetical system. #1 is now named Aleph and #2 is Baker.
