What do you name your Mac/Hard Disk?
Moof!
I haven't seen this thread in a while, so it's time to revive it.
The question is, what do you name your Mac and/or hard disk?
Myself, I have two computers, one named Donna and the other named
Phoebe. My various hard disks are named: Donna, Phoebe, Lego, BitBlt,
Spin-o-matic, Spin-Dry, and SpinasaursRex.
So what does everyone else have?

The funny thing is, the main partition on my PB 165's HD is also called
Marvin, but I doubt it's the same Marvin. (The two partitions are [Lee]
Marvin and [Steve] McQueen. A homage to two great movie stars of bygone

Not as embarrassed as I am that I don't have some highly personal names
for all that stuff. I'm probably the last person on the planet to refrain
from giving fanciful appellations to my Mac and its hard drives.
My Mac is named "kindall" (I named it that because Timbuktu kept
defaulting to my machine name for a user ID so it seemed easier to change
it to what the remote machine expected than retype it each time).
My hard drive partitions are named System, Images, Downloads, Indexed,
Work, and Programs. Pretty mundane, huh?

My Hard Drive is called: X-FILES. (ok, not so original, but keep reading).
My Desktop documents folder, named after our Design firm (On the Sly Designs)
is called: onthesly.gov
Then the launcher alias, appearing immediately below, has been renamed:
TRUSTNO1.
One of my Syquest drives, a 7.5 Upgrade 2.0 test disk is named SCULLY 7.5.3.
So we have on the desktop: X-FILES

I call my Hard disk "holly" in honor of the AI on Red Dwarf and british
sci-fi comedy.
also since upgrading to sys 7.5.3 I have also entered the following comment in
Holly's get-info box.
"I have an IQ of 6000, thats equivalent to the IQ of 6000 P.E. teachers"
Hope none of you P.E. teachers out their are offended, but that was Hollys
great skill on the program, her/his imense IQ. (Ha!)
I also have the infamous "smoke me a kipper skipper.." line as uttered by
Rimmers double from a parallel universe as a shutdown snd.

I used to call my old LC 80 MB harddisk "Oblivion". But, I didn´t loose
alot of files really. If I kept on using it for one hundred years it
wouldn´t get close to my harddisk problems with the PowerBook 5300. Then
I got a new harddisk, and things look nice now.

My current 2GB harddisk is named "Big Rig", and I also have a 1GB IBM
which, appropriately enough, bears the name "Big Blue".
I have used a zillion different hard drive names throughout the years, one
even had a Klingon name (I looked up the Klingon equivalent of "temporary
data storage" or something similar and named it that.)

At one point, I had three hard disks on my Mac, so I named them Larry,
Moe and Curly. Then I added a fourth, but didn't want to name it Shemp,
so I named it Groucho. When I got a fifth, I named it Harpo. I've since
replaced my old Larry with a newer, faster, bigger Larry, but Curly -- a
humble 80-meg drive which came in my Centris 610 -- has been retired. So
now I have a hodge podge: Harpo, Moe, Larry and Groucho.

Just having acquired a PowerBook100 as a companion to my IIsi, I've
christened the duo Fat Man and Little Boy...for the moment, anyway. (Yes,
I WAS trying for something nuclear-free, but this was soooo catchy).

I have an internal called the big hard one, and the two partitions of my
external are called Calvin and Hobbes. The name Possibly the only IIsi
left survived when I traded my si for a vx, so it doesn't make all that
much sense these days, but I have a certain affection for my old 5MB
machine.

My hard drive is named "Towel" (after the ever-useful towels in the
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy); I even drew a towel-on-a-rack icon for
it. My mac is a PowerBook 5300, so when I'm not using it I put an old
towel on it as a dustcover. :-)
