what do you name your computers?

[Jacquers]

My home pc is called Marvin. It's currently broken... ironic I think. I think a good name for a dual-core would be Zaphod :)

At my home, I name it based on machine type: TheiMac TheMacBook ThePCIBuilt1 TheHPLaptop At work, all the employee workstations are based on first name and last initial (if required). The server are named as per their utility: filestore, devvmhost prodvmhost, exchange, support etc. I name my test VMs based on their configuration: tw2003sql2005, tw2008R2sqll2008, tw2008oracle11g, twvista and so on.

Seeing this reminded me that I still needed to name the one I got in the summer. It is now called "Onysablet" (a black dragon from a book series I like).

You forgot the biggest thief of them all - Madoff! The interesting thing about his name is that it is pronounced "Made-Off". Quite appropriate don't you think?
