At least it's better than the endless Star Trek references. How may mailservers out there are called "picard" ;)


true dat...

Now just watch for a new flood of Hitchhikers Guide names when the movie hits the streets....

but.....
names of my old boxes and servers were all Red Dwarf referenced so I can't talk



For a bit of Friday fun, what do WAMUGgers call their hard drives or servers?

To get the ball rolling, my G4 MDD drives are John, Paul, George and Ringo (easy guess what icons I use!), while my Powerbook is Calvin and external FW drive is Hobbes (after the comic strip characters).


I used to give them names like "Big" or "Small" but that became confusing so probably as a reaction to my post above I just call things by the simplest adjective I can think of combine with the size so my drives are "tech 60" , "music 120", "boot 80", "FW 160".

Not much fun there I'm sorry Rod!
