Man!!! Now that's what I call dedication to a cause! Did you reach the point where you never wantted to see another cheese sandwich?
Originally, when I upgraded to XP, I wanted to call it Hal 9000, but found that CerebroJD had beaten me to it. So I call mine COLOSSUS after the computer in a movie called "The Forbin Project".

I named my cell Autumn, bc it's my favorite name:) My desktop is named RacSar, but the story behind that is rather lengthy.

Never thought to give my pc a name. I might think one up. I do use it a lot.... Needs a name, I suppose....
It has several names when it does something unexpected or bad......can't repeat these and I only say them in my mind....Then the mind sweepers come out and sweep the them all away.....and then they call ME names like; potty mind...
I fired them recently, so you see I have been too busy to name my pc.

Arlo Guthrie was born with a guitar in one hand and a harmonica in the other, in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York in 1947 he is 58 or 59 yrs old now!
That might be the source of the phrase "back in 47" or it might have to do with the gold rush, I knew at one time, but have forgotten...
Did you know he still performs?....http://www.arlo.net/
I was too young, but friends of mine, were at "woodstock"(cool) also they said radio couldn't play his music, it was too long for radio..
I have listened to my share over the years..
Maybe you should name your pc Arlo, what do you think?

"I'm with you, when it starts earning it's keep, then I'll name it, until then, it is just called "mine"!!!
And it feels great to see it when I get up in the morning, knowing it's waiting for me!!

| I will only name mine after it gets a S.S. number and I can claim it as a dependent. |

Jerky - in memory of my late sister, Sarah. She called me tuff-guy, I called her jerky. She was born on my birthday when I was nine. She died in a car accident July 7th, 2001. She was the best present I ever got and I miss here terribly.

My desktop is the C.I.A. Mainframe, and my 2 laptops are C.I.A. Remote Terminal 1 & 2. I just love the C.I.A. Desktop themes.

ya know... I never really thought about naming my computer... I've named most other things, like my guitars (Buzz and Woody). I guess I should come up with a name for my computer. What was the name of that computer on "War Games"? That'd be a good name... Lemme go google that, and I'll come back and name it that....

Apparently it's name is "Joshua" which is Ironically my little brother's name... who is in Iraq right now.. 
So that's a good name. I guess I'll name my computer Joshua.
