    My home PCs are all named after famous computers (or thereabouts) from films, tv etc

    So our current network looks like this:
    • Zen
    • Queeg
    • Kryten
    • Orac
    • Slave
    • Mother
    • Tardis
    • Terminator
    • Holly

    Anyway I have a new computer and im running out of names! Any suggestions following this pattern!

    Martin

    PS We did have a HAL but i dont wanna call my new PC that...

    So much for me being a computer enthusiast, I've got no idea what those names are, and have no suggestions :S

    How about a few from Star Trek: 'Data' or 'The Doctor' or 'The Borg'?

    I would name it "Gray" because Gray Corp. Computers are the best super computers. Litterally.

    I thought you meant from the title, famous computers :S; so my answer would have been the Apple II :D !

    I think I'll change my computer name to SuperCray.

    CMH now stands for "Cray (in) My Home".

    :D:D:D

    My hard drives are named after famous computers too

    How about MULTIVAC from the Issac Asimov books ???
    Or what about SKYNET
    Or K9

    Or there is a great list on wikipedia.org on this topic wiki/Computers_in_fiction

    Sorry for not being able to post the actual link - the admin of this board won't let me.

    Glad I'm not the only person being geeky :)

    It Completely Slipped My DIMMs.......

    I don't know how you managed to miss "HAL 9000", the homicidal ships computer from "2001: A Space Oddyssey"!:evil:

    Actually, captain, he said he had a Hal, but he doesn't want this one to be named that.

    I like Arsenal Gear (if I remember correctly) myself, from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, but I also like WOPR.

    EDIT, wow this was from 2007 people...
