OK, I'm bored (and not entirely sober :confused: ). I'm getting an external HD and am not sure what to call it when it arrives. What do you guys have your computers/HDDs called?
Computer names

Hmmm, my hds names go as following:

I'll leave the emoticons... they're cute like that.
using the letters from "external" you can get maybe...
"extra nel"
"artexlen"
"Tex Lenar"
"Talen Rex"
"x rate len"
"ternalex"
...pretty lame i know, maybe spark a few ideas.... ![]()

When I was mounting my second HD, I thought that it will be the better way to organize the things.
There is element of truth in it... ![]()
All my computers are named after their model names: iMac G4 800, iMac G3 500, PB G3 500, PM 9600/350, etc.
Hard drive names are as follows: OS 9, Jaguar, Panther, iMac HD, Amie, Blazer, Chelsea, Cadie, Chanel, Dodger, Jasmine, Hunter, Indy, and Son of Indy.
My computer names don't translate well and HD names are less fantatsic:
FAT32-QUANTUM-4GB (was: a drive, now a partition, has seen 95/98/2000 and a lot of travel)
NTFS-MAIN
EXT2-6GB
NTFS-EXT
But the last network I set up:
The workgroup was named SolarSystem,
The Linux file & proxy server with the fat HDs was 'Jupiter'
'His' was Callisto (a moon of the actual Jupiter)
'Hers' was Hydra (didnt find another female sounding moon)
