Does your computer or computers have a nickname, pet name, or just something else you refer to it by? How did it get the name? This can be funny sometimes… My server’s name is OTTO, named after the blowup doll on Airplane! and my workstation is named Lester after Lester Burnham in American Beauty. * * * what’s yours called/named? :kommie: ---

lol - I find this amusing for some geekish reason. :beam: as another example, a friend of mine has named all of his computers after Star Wars characters. His server is Vader, his main workstation is Luke, and his laptop is R2D2. ---
