Computer Names

Since it’s a busy weekend’s Sunday, I’m not really in the mood for anything important.

So, without further ado:

How do you call your computers?

Desktops or laptops, PCs or Macs or anything.

My oldie but goodie desktop PC is called Persephone, because I was always fascinated by this particular legend of greek mythology.

My brand new black Macbook is called Nemesis. Because I finally got my revenge for all the PC problems I had for years.

How do you call yours? Do tell.

P.S. I’m aware that referring to a piece of machinery using names is not the most sane of habits. But anyway.

    I call mine “Cristine” (from Stephen King’s novel)…And when something goes wrong I always say :
    - Christine, show me !!! (and she always does…)

    Even though I’ve read almost every book written by this man, I’ve never read “Christine”. Is it any good?

    On the other hand, John darling, you take named computer obsession a step beyond ;)

    I never talk to my machines. Well, apart from the occasional peck on the Macbook screen, just because it’s so damn sexy.

    I believe that computers resemble women: No matter how much money you spend on them, they are never pleased. Even when everything seems to be in order they will invent a new problem to torture you.
    So my PC is called Eva. It’s small, sexy and sinister… And don’t ask what I mean by sexy.


Got something to say?

Please say it in English, the one and only language of this blog. If your comment is in greek or swedish or esperanto, I claim the right to edit it and translate it to english. Thank you.
