So what do you call your computer? Bonus points for creativity!
Main desktop: quadfu

I’m a little less creative with the laptops. :)
My rev A Core Duo Black MacBook is Anderton — named for John Anderton from Philip K. Dick’s short story Minority Report (and subsequent fantastic movie by Spielberg). The name I have picked out for the 17″ Penryn MacBook Pro replacing this soon, is Merlin. (I’ve had that one in mind for quite a while.)
My 2G iPod Nano (Black) is Apollo.
WorkGroup = Brewery
Steinlager
MacsGold
LeffeBlond
Heineken
My PC is named “Thrasher”, named after the “Thrasher skateboard magazine” sticker I stuck on the bottom of the monitor.
Not very creative but funny to say and a nod to skateboarding.
I also name my hard disk drives because of how it looks in “My Computer” when read.
For example, my C:/ is called “NOTHING TO” (C:)
My D:/ is called “DOUBLE” (D:)
