I recently had the joy of naming my new G4 (its hard drive, rather). It now goes by "Giggleflop" in honor of the gigaflop. I'm just curious, but what does everyone else name their machine?

[Zwilnik]

DangerMouse, Deep Blue and iClaudius

[Keda]

I have a Star Wars Theme going at home w/icons to match. At work, I have My 1st partitin named T�te, 2nd Sooky, 3rd Glee. Why? Good question. Ive nemed too many hard drives, so if Im not inspired by something, I make it up.

[oscar]

I have boring names, like "Macintosh HD" and "Stuff"

------------------
-See Yea!

Taken from Starcraft,

Main HD: "Gantrithor"
Second HD: "Draconis"

[imacman11]

1st partition:
Apollyon (means "The Destroyer" in ancient greek)

2nd Partition:
FIRESTORM

dlindsay17,
your name "giggleflop" is so cute! I really like it. The play on words is very silly sounding.

Makes me want to giggle when I say it.

BTW, my hardrive name is: Ocean Blue

[G4Man]

My HD name is Amaesing HD!

[blizzard]

Power Mac G3 and G3 Backup. I feel so outclassed...=(

The icons on my desktop representing my hard disk partitions are: This is not a HD and Other. My names aren't very exciting. To add a special touch, one is labeled blue, and the other is labeled red. This gives them a little color.

[namannik]

"PowerMac" and "iBook" (How original!)

[Misha]

PowerBook G3: Condor
iMac DV Strawberry: Shortcake
Heavily-modded PowerCenter: Big Red

And various other Macs that have pretty standard names or descriptions of what OS version, etc. they're running... those three are the ones I used daily, the rest usually just sit there so I don't care about 'em.

I named my new G4 HD "BLAZER" because it is blazingly fast

My friend just started using Linux so when he came over he named my HD "/dev/hda7". I'm not very creative so I can't think of anything better at the moment.

[drewman]

I have always named my main hard drive "Darwin" because my computer is always evolving and changing. When I move to the next system, the first thing I do is rename the hard drive to Darwin and then rename my old system back to Mac HD. Like a changing of ownership ceremony.

drewman

Well I used to try to think of cute or silly names (Ralph, Phred) then I started naming my syquest disks after monty python characters but then I became infected with a hardware obsession and now have many HD's So I now name them to help me easily identify them

Cheetah, Barracuda, Microp1, Microp2 etc (I have 5 Micropolis drives)

But the drive that came in my G3 Is an IBM drive so I named it Yosemite because I don't want to have IBM on my desktop the PC geeks won't shut up when they see it

Hi folks!!!

Great names you all have... Funny I almost didn't think anyone else named their Mac. Glad to see I'm not the only one...

My first one, Color Classic : Ellie
Second one, Performa 400 : Pegasus
Third one, Performa 630 : Wannabe (It could be a PowerPC but never got so far )Hi folks!!!

Fourth one was PowerMac 5320 : Orion
Fifth one was PowerMac 6500 : Cassiopeia
Sixth was a G3 300 : Gemini
Current : Andromeda for being the biggest and best of them all....
My iBook is : Lyra for it shines ever so bright...

Take care folks!!!

[camera punk]

In my new G4: "supernaut" and "sick man"
in my old 6500: "resurrection" (it was "bastard son" until i had to reformat it) and "sick man"

[maceye]

I named my G4 'Artemis' (the codename for the G3 all-in-one sold to schools)

Current HD is Romulus

Previous machine had System Drive (guess what was on that one), Big Mac and Junior Burger. They were three partitions of my HUGE 1.2 gig drive.

My G4's name is Venom, named after my favourite Marvel villian (I even have a cool Venom icon! , my other two partitions are called Apps and Files (Boring, yes, but I like it that way hehehe). The Mac I used before (a Performa 5200) was named Zachary, 'cause I think that's a damn cool name!

On the (US) TV series Home Improvement, it seems that all equipment is the Binford ______ 6100 (e.g., Binford Chain Saw 6100). Where I once worked, I had a PM 6100/60 AV, so I named its HD "Binford PowerMac 6100".

My 1st Mac (IIsi): Macintosh HD
My 2nd Mac (7500) w/ 3 drives and 5 partitions:
Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Pink, Brain
I also had matching icons!
My latest Mac (G4) w/ 3 partitions:
Woody, Buzz, Zurg
Has anybody found Toy Story 2 icons yet?

My last Mac was a Blueberry 333MHZ iMac named i2D2 (After R2D2 from Star Wars) I even had the R2D2 sound set, Yep i know pretty lame. I have yet to name my grape iMac/DV

My little Quadra 605 is named "Panthratosh".

My Power Mac G4 400 is "Dorkfish". Know how to catch a dorkfish? Corndogs!

Naming a Mac is one of the little things that make them so insanely great -- here are mine:

Mac IIsi (my first Mac) 17/160mb: Max
Radius 81/110 (my current desktop Mac) 96/6gb/4xCD: Enterprise
PowerBook 3400 80/2gb/6xCD: Challenger

Here are the ones I maintain at work:
Mac Centris 650 84/2gb/2xCD: Reliant
Power Computing PowerCenter Pro 210MT 96/2gb/6xCD/16xCD: Apollo
Power Computing PowerCenter Pro 210MT 196/12gb/16xCD: Viper (2gb); Gemini (9.1gb); Photoshop (600mb Photoshop partition)
Power Mac 6100/66DOS 24/500mb/2xCD: Blue Star
Blueberry iMac/350 64/6gb/24xCD: DUTCH
Blueberry iMac/350 64/6gb/24xCD: Zoe

And arriving at my house tomorrow to replace Enterprise as my current desktop Mac, a shiny new G4/450 128/20gb/DVD/Zip/56k... although it has no name yet... I'm thinking about Enterprise-A or Defiant... I'm a huge Star Trek fan

I call my iMac Revision D Dave.

As in Dave from the HAL9000 commercial.

I name my boot drive "The Lorax"...
and partitions on my work drive are "Hummingfish," "Brown Barbaloot," "Swami Swan," and "Truffula Tree."

And I named my printer, that tree-eating monster, "The Onceler."

If you know Seuss you'll get this.

I have a Myst/Riven theme going. My biggest partition is called "Atrus" after the wise man in the novells and books (and its my Internet alias also . The second partition is called "Gehn", the father of Atrus and the bad one in the stories.
The lates buy was a 18 gigs SCSI2 drive which I haven�t found any suiting name for yet. Anyone Myst/Riven fans with some suggestions? It goes under the name "Big Daddy" right now

/Atrus

[outZider]

LOL, I name everything important. My primary iMac is Lydia, my Mac IIci/development server is Alice, my business web server is Pandora, and my car's name is Natalie. =)

I got my new G4/450 up and running! I decided to name it Panther.

Right now I'm looking for a great image of a black panther to use as a desktop picture... I have searched and searched the net and can't find one. If anybody knows where I can get one, *please* email me at [email protected]

Thanks!

[apreston]

Currently my Macs are named:
G3 400: Phong (after the character on ReBoot)
iMac 333: jMac (Dad's name begins with j, and in complex math i=j=sqrt(-1) so i and j are interchangeable)

In the past I was building a mac family:
6100/60: Junior
LC: Gramps

There are some really creative names out there. I'm impressed!

Andrew.

[Jeff Edsell]

Wow. this is one of those little questions that yields big replies.

My first mac was a Duo 230 the previous owner had named "Seamus." I saw no reason to change it.

My wife named our current Rev. B iMac "Howard."

At work, I did have "Artoo," but I changed it to "Cool" because I was using an icon of a smileyface with sunglasses and a bored expression. The icon has been changed many times, but the name is the same.

Our other Macs at work: "Pinky" (a Powerbook 3400 with a hard drive named "Brain"), and "Zaphod" ('coz the G3 upgrade card is like adding a second brain, get it)?

Finally, the aging Compaq PC at my right (used mostly for testing web pages and handling long-filename documents) also has a HHGG name: "Marvin."

Jeff

Mine are not very artistic, but descriptive. They are Macintosh HD, BackUp, Virtual PC, and Updates.

[Adam Silver]

The code names Apple gives its computers are cooler their real names. I feel it is my job to undo Apple's damage.

The computers I have owned or set up for family members have been named:

Power Macintosh 6100/60: Piltdown Man

Macintosh PowerBook 3400c/180: Hooper

another Macintosh PowerBook 3400c/180: Kanga (this one almost got a G3 logic board upgrade)

iMac (Blueberry 333): Lifesavers

Power Macintosh G4 (Yikes! 400): Graphite

I named my G4 Graphite because I don't like the name Yikes! If I had a Sawtooth G4, it would have been named Sawtooth.

my iMac DV's hd is
The Dread HD Roberts!
i'm thinking of naming an external
Inconceivable!
or
Inigo Montoya
what do you think?

My old 6360 was named Algernon and the new G3 is Archimedes.

I named by G3's Hard drives: Mud Puppy & Little Dog

The lab I'm in has the machines named mythically, e.g. 31 Pegasus etc.

[Eluna]

My HD name is "Carpe Diem IV"

I just entered the Mac world (finally!) and decided to name my Graphite iMac DV's drive (over the last month...)
-HDL 9000
-The Dude (big lebowski)
-Akira
-Tetsuo
-iTrevor (it's a split personality, HAL/dave kinda thing)
-The Woz
-and last but not least, I think others have done this too......
MEGA-HURTS!!!
I prefer that one over all the others
It's a badass Mac
Watch out...he's smooooooooth

Email me, we'll chat

Call me simple, mine're called Sparky and Silver Halide...

I was nosing around on a students computer here at work las' week tho and noticed that HIS hard drive was called "Come Here to Suck It"...bizarre. Inside theres an entire story written in the titles of 32 nested folders...
some people have WAY too much free time

1G partition = Little Mac

8G partition = Big Mac

My original Mac was an LC575 called it simply "My Baby", HD was named "Alpha".
The current Mac is a Rev.B iMac, my "Bondi Baby" HD named "zen" in honor of the ships computer in Blake's 7!

From Waiting for Godot

Main Hard Drive: Pozzo
Backup Drive: Lucky

[leperkuhn]

I went with Macintosh HD, but now i'm thinking of changing it... Good call whoever started the topic.
