SOOPAH256 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 my friend wanted to give my compute a whole bunch of nicknames (ie. thinktank). me, being the simple but stylistic person that i am, just choose to use number designations. so i began with "oneofthree", "twoofthree", and "threeofthree" because windows doesn't allow the names to start with numbers. now a days, i prefer to drop the ends because i'm just plain lazy: "one", "two", "three" hehehehehehehe:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quezicks Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I call mine "The Machine". From Family Guy, where Chris says "Way to go Dad! Fight the machine!", and Stewie says "Who told you about the machine?!?". Always struck me as being really funny. :) q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deadzombie Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 My server is called "Asgard". My old HP PII 333 (which just won't die - it's an amazing machine!) is called "Odin" My wifes machine was "Loki", but he was sold for twice what I built him for. My personal machine is always called "Thorshammer". I refer to them as "sys" (short for system) or "box". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerbero Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 My workstation doesn't have a name, since it's a Fujitsu/Siemens piece of **** can, but after the summer i'll have my own homebuilt one and I will probably call that something. My linux router/fileserver is called "Hot Mama Box" for no reason at all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorshammer gets a major overhaul every 6 months, so he stays top of the line...the box is at 1.4 right now with over a GB of mem...he's due for a new mobo and chipset here soon.

Joshie Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Yanno, I think he was asking if the word 'computer' had a nickname, not if *your* computer had a nickname. -_- But anyway, nicknames for computers range from PC, CPU, and box to comp and puter. I call 'em puters, just cuz it sounds better and is easy to say. I wonder if everybody pronounces it the same--I say it like pooter, but I've heard at least a few people say pyooter. Freaks. My computer used to be named chaos, but then I stopped believing in chaos, and I dropped the name. Now I just call it my piece of $hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aem4162 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 My nickname for the computer is " 'puter". When it doesn't do as I say it's called "you stoopid stinkin piece o ****", although threats don't really affect how it works. It would work great if I'd stop tinkering with it. :D:D:D:D anita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deadzombie Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Love your box. Talk nicely to it. Clean it often. Show it the loving affection it deserves, and it will always treat you nicely. Unless your a moron and you try to clean the inside of your case with Windex, then you're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
