Unfortunately, if I rename it I have to fix a metric crapload of other  
stuff, and still put a cname entry for dbdev2 in our DNS hosts file.  
Besides it dates from pre-me here...when they got that 486/66 back in  
the day for the new database guy, they didn't know it was going to be  
me. It's got <Tevve> Traditioooon!</Tevve> :-)

I settle for naming my drives...Das Boot, Tardis (system and Time  
Machine drives respectively), and so forth....at one point all my  
drives were named for Toho monsters (with icons to match)...I don't  
think I've EVER had a computer with "Macintosh" as the name of the  
drive :-)

My home computers are called Swamp Thing and Jones (it started life as  
a Pismo, and well, I'd lived close to Long Island for a while...)
