A lot of people on here have home networks. What have you named your machines?

Clybourn - Dell Dimension (Win2k sp2)
Wabash - Dell Optiplex (Redhat 7.1)
Wacker - POS AMD white box (NT server 4.0 sp6)

good god. how the hell do you have room for that many machines?

And WHY?!?!

[seanyepez]

My father has, like, eight notebooks. I don't know why, but they "forget" he has them and I requisition them for my own evil purposes (namely SETI and Distributed.net).

I named em all. Think I'm changing to the Duron to be Evil, if I get the chance w/o being beheaded. Maybe the day before I leave for school...

[seanyepez]

The Duron, far superior to its Celeron counterpart, is not evil or a piece of, well, you know.

The Duron is a quality product by AMD. You are not supporting Intel, at least. While you might be running Windows 98, it's one of the better M$ operating systems.

PowerBook 1400: Mini-Me

iBook 300: It was called Club Diesel prior to OS X. Then with a computer name it became Club Diesel 949. OS X partition was called Riddler and the OS 9 was called Joker. It's just Riddler now (the icon is a sphinx).

iBook 600: Alpha Subzero. The hard drive is called Alpha Mermaid (and yes, the icon is a golden mermaid).


The PowerBook and Rev A iBook are networked at home; the iBook 600 is with me at my place (it's my baby...lol). Yeah, yeah, shut up...I know what you're thinking.

if you only knew... it's my mom's "pet project" aka dad's too pissed to fix her comp over and over, so he's making her doit herself... The HD's been reformatted like.. 6, maybe 7 times in the last week, because that's her solution to any and everything. "I'll just wipe the HD and everything will be ALL better!" Just put 2K on there... "what an utter piece of crap" because it doesn't work like 98, and things have been moved slightly. "I'd rather have NT!" I've given up explaining that it IS NT... god, save us from teh computer illiterate! IT's name is Happy this time 'round, btw...
