Mine are simply called desktop and laptop.


At my old work all the computers were named after bad guys (arch enemies in comic books etc..).

Speaking of work, at one clients they decided to call one of their NAS devices HAL.

And yes, out of all the NAS devices they have this one gives me the most trouble!

Servers are named after David Eddings characters. PC's are named after anime characters. So at the moment I am streaming video off of belgarath on yumi-chan.

In conversation systems are referred to by their role (and location if there is more than one machine doing the role, e.g. upstairs htpc) instead of by their hostname for clarity.

 

[Tefal]

HAL was good, they just gave him conflicting orders ad he got confused

I recently named mine Mission control, only because when my cousin takes the mickeys out of me for being geeky and upgrading it etc I can reply with 'Nasa would be ****ed without me'

I vaguely consider mine to be called Omega, mainly because it's using the Akasa case of the same name. In more practical terms there are jon-svr, jon-nas, jon-n110 and jon-dell. Previously jon-eee and jon-nc10. Definitely a pattern there.
