That's what my wifi network is called >_<
I don't have a name for the laptop because it's not mine.
My computer was called Shelia though.

I called my desktop Agrajag. Because I use to have an old computer that blue screen of deathed every single day I tried to use it, to which I would say "oh no not again" or something about threatening it with the scrap heap. So it seemed a fitting name to honour the old desktop, which managed to make me rage more than I though any machine could :D

HAHA I'm disappointed that your neighbours haven't renamed theirs "give it to me baby" and "ah ha ah ha"

No one's called their computer GLaDOS? I am ashamed of you all. But yeah, take a wild guess what my computer's called? My phone and iPod are both closely related to my computer...

Here's a hint, it's not single player related.

Thinking about it, I need a companion cube shaped portable hard drive...
I did, recently posted here actually xD I also changed windows sounds to glados quotes :3

Right before I built my new computer I named my old one Old Faithful. It had been running strong for like 8+ years and probably could go another 8 more. I forgot if I've named my new one yet.

Formerly in use, but not currently: Bock, Dunkle

We started using service names (like www1 or db1) internally, but they still all have real names as well.

For IRC [/chat], we had Kenny (my server), Bender, Megumi (from voting for a new server name with a several large fansub groups on the network), and Stitch

Woah, I think I saw that network a couple of days ago. Although, it could have been spelled slightly differently: dashes instead of underscores? spaces? I'm not sure. And I don't really remember where did I see it.

I've always called my system Big Red, cuz it's a big red tower, the parts inside change but I've never had to swap cases, it's been in this case since... 2002? I think...

my computer names (and disk partitions) describe their primary function. This one is internetuser, because this one has all security enabled and is designed to weather the worst that the internet can throw at me.
My other partition is called gamingrig. Its windows XP with all forms of security disabled and admin privileges always granted. It does NOT use its web browsers, only connecting to minecraft.net.

My laptop is forgetful, because it does not have a hard drive and boots from a live-cd. the USB drivers are terrible, which means that all saved data is written to a 1.44 MB 3.5" floppy thats older than I am. Its a good thing my family does not throw away old technology.

I currently have:

Lady - the general workhorse (because she's slim and lady-like)
Blackbird - gaming machine (for the case colour)
Sputnik - main laptop (because he's a Toshiba Satellite)
Dame - ageing laptop (tough old girl)
Cavy - netbook (small and not terribly bright)

I don't have a theme.

My laptop is named Vigil, after the non-organic intelligence construct stationed on Ilos in Mass Effect.

My main desktop is called Sol, the rest of my computers are named after various planets in the solar system. Portable storage devices are named after asteroids and comets.

I don't at the moment, I believe my computer is named "JAMES-LAPTOP", but this thread has inspired me to be more original in future.

Widest case I've ever owned.
