The eMac is 'Ethel', the b/w G3 is 'Beryl'. Old-fashioned, like me, why I even call my Toyota Hilux 'Harriet'.

All of our computers at work are named after cities in the US. My current work notebook is called "Appleton", appropriately enough :)

Well, my G3 iBook is "John" because the thing looks like a toilet seat cover.

My MacBook really doesn't have a name. My friends used to call it the CrackBook for a while since I never put the thing down. I liked that name. CrackBook.

Well it has to have a network name, so you might as well make it something inventive :D
Anything with a network name needs to have a name - iPod's do too (otherwise they'd all be called "Bob's iPod" or whatever).


My current MacBook is called Charlie
My old PC laptop was called Ezmarelda
The family PC is called Betty
My sister's laptop is called "Kim's Laptop" (I didn't set it up :p)

My Time Capsule is called Atticus
My Airport Express is called Rose


My iPhone is called Hermes
My old iPod Touch was called Apollo
Both my iPod 5.5G and my Nano 1G were called Lucifer

We have two Wifi networks in the house, also:
One is a 802.11n network on the Time Capsule - this is called "Airport"
One is a network on a Netgear router - this is called "Bus-Station" because it is slower than Airport :D
