Re: Drive names

I still have a Mac or 2 I haven't got around to renaming the HD of from "Macintosh HD", but for the most part I like to name the principal boot drive after the Mac's physical characteristics, also the Mac's network name; other drives are functional like "Projects" or "Backup". Sometimes for the App

Re: 3400 swap nears end - solved and an OT question.

I used to have Lisa Simpson saying "I am the Lizard Queen!" as a startup sound, so of course the hard drive was named Lizard Queen. Then there was Lizard Queen 2 and 3. But I lost that sound bite, so now I name it after the machine: 3400c and 190cs. Ted -- PowerBooks is sponsored by
