Hi Lob & friends, I named the harddrive of my computer Shenpen, which is Tibetan for Joy. Particularly the kind of joy one brings onto others. This computer has given me a sense of joy, right from the moment it was smiling at me from the shelf at the shop :-) When you give a computer a name that has a negative connotation to you, you might wonder if you do so just to be playful, or that maybe you are wording your intuition. Maybe you already know that you are getting involved with a box that means trouble. But... maybe you are tempted. Tempted to wanna tame it and turn it to good use, even though you know it is an obnoxious machine. This might be part of the attraction. The Beast (from Belle) is BTW such a kind and gentle man. He's loving and caring. Just ugly on the outside. and in the end he turns into a handsome price. So... should you re-name or re-frame? And could this maybe be what you feel or hope you can accomplish with this machine? Love, Desi ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo!
