| 72513 | 2002-08-19 23:52:00 | Sometimes i think i'm the only one here who will admit to being such a geek that I name my computers Now i know that the forum is hosted on a machine called "candy" and i'd like to know why the choice of name? My 2 are called Vanessa and Sam Vanessa is named after an old flatmate from many years ago, when the machine was first born.... sorry built Vanessa the person is staunch, reliable, and has "personality" so does the machine. Both have tested me, and been loyal Sam was named by someone elses suggestion, and seemed a good idea at the time |

| 72515 | 2002-08-20 00:34:00 | Mine are named after South Park characters: Cartman = AMD 1Ghz T-Bird and with the biggest hard drive. Chef has a black case (and has an affinity for food; the kids' PC) Kenny was so name due to the fact that it used to die all the time - now a Winamp jukebox. And Timmy, in the back bedroom is a 486. |

| 72520 | 2002-08-20 02:36:00 | Mine are dull: PIII P2 and PPro Functionality overcame personality. Used to be more interesting names: Godzilla was a real grunter that ended it's life as Kermie. Mars was a server named after the god of war. Medusa was one that seemed to get nasty the minute you looked at it. DeepThought was my first NT Server. Marvin was born with a Novell 2.12 box that kept crashing. robo. |
