Naming your PC

[dogenzakaminion]

Fred is my dead laptop,
Sophie is my netbook,
and my desktop is called El Luchador.

All of them are either inside jokes or just for giggles.

 

[ToxicPiranah]

Pablo... I haven't a clue why.

My computer is named Betty, and it's like a grandma. It's always there for you when you need it, and sometimes it shits in it's pants.

:O YOU NINJA...my computer is named Betty....but only because she has flames and if this was 1970 she would be a caddie with flames on it....she is a monster...12 gigs of ram TO DO WHATEVER I WANT

Mine has a mighty 2gb and has been running for over 10 years! I replaced the insides on several occasions but it can only take you so far.

I have a new one but am having troubles adapting to windows 7...

revert it back to XP. 7 says it needs 2gigs to run but thats it...it NEEDS 2gigs to RUN...if you wanna do anything ekse its already holding most of the ram and graphics up. revert back to XP and chill there untill you get something like my betty....btw my betty is 50 pounds...the fatty she is, and if you go for a new one i recomend ibuypower...dont do alienware or dell or mac...all overpriced crap

[lacktheknack]

It's named "Ali".

It's Alienware.

 

[Will of One]

He's name is Steve. After a while I read The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, which made me want to call it Deep Thought (the one with the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything), but I had already gotten so used to the name Steve by then that I just decided to keep his old name. If I ever get a Mac though, I'm definitely calling it GLaDOS.

 

[PxDn Ninja]

My desktop is named Melchior, and my laptop is Balthazar. WhenI get a second desktop, it will be named Caspar.

 

[Lord Honk]

I've been going on putting a letter and an incremental number representing which PC it is, so currently I'm on M3 (Medion PC) and K4 (Kiebel Notebook). Not too interesting, but hey, I like it.

edit:

It's named "Ali".

It's Alienware.

So, do you pronounce it "Ah-lee" as in the arabian prince, or "Ay-lee" as in "Alienware"?

 

[SNIPERFOX ft. Harry P.Ness]

bloodfest, because at the back and left hand side there is a massive red glow. and a 2.7 dual core processor? HELL FUCKING YES.

 

[Vhite]

I prefer to curse on software...

 

[BiggDoggJake]

"Black Panther"

It has a sticker on it from a local tattoo parlor with a black panther head on it


OT: 1st post!

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

Do I feel a strong enough attachment to my PC to bequeath a name upon it??! When haven't I?

...Never is the answer to that question, in case that wasn't clear. We've always given our computers names, generally on a theme - a practice my father started by naming all the computers at his job with nautical terms (Jib, Flotsam, etc).

At home we named our computers after musical terminology, so we have Rhythm, Blues, Jazz, Melody, etc. My personal computer is named Requiem, as its creation marked the death knell of sorts of a previous system, and Requiems are songs composed for funerals.

Screw duel screens I have tri-screens! Two monitors and my TV! And this time I can actually run all of them.

 

[ABLb0y]

my computer is called GLaDOS.

 

[mariofan1000]

Yes. "Shit"

 

[Wintermoot]

My dad named his computer Wodan. When I got mine he called it Donar, because it's Wodan's son.

I called my computers (Laptops) flaptops, craptops or klootbooks. (dutch pun) No, I don't really care about how my computers feel about their names.

I think you need to rename your laptops, you might never know when they become sentient

Good plan. Now what is a good name where no bad rhymes or puns could be made out of?

Johnson! No wait... Richard? Nah... I think my computer looks like a Herman. Yeah, Herman. Like a soldier, dedicated and strong. With a polished armor. It fits!
