A good friend of mine has this habit of naming his computers. Not a weird thing to do, considering men usually name their cars. I wouldn't know what women name, haven't given it enough thought to discuss the matter with my friends, but personally, I name body parts, or its attributes and actions. Someone with a pot belly might find his pot belly being named, or even have a song dedicated to
it in my head.
Those lucky ones would have their 'walk' named, categorised and filed. One of my colleagues have the honour of being 'The Elephant', not because of his size, but the way his footsteps sound - like a slow moving, heavy, four-legged mammoth.
Back to naming PCs.
Interesting that this friend has had his PCs named after fast-moving car descriptives. Men, in general, name cars after women. So to get straight to the point, I proposed a name for his new G4 MAC. A woman's name. He's trying it out with the voice recognition system.
