As part of the Getting our Shit in one Sock Bundy vacation we’re on, my little bride and I are upgrading the production iMac here at tbbs World HQ.
snowball, our loyal iMac for nearly 7 years, will be replaced with a loaded-up MacMini and an overpriced Apple-icious 20 inch monitor.
Loyal followers1 of the goings-on here already know that I name my computers. The new one is hereby christened tinman. The names steve, his-jobness, and God were already taken, in a decidedly non-DNS debate in which I will not participate.
Joy to the Valley, and joy to the economy. I’ve spent money. Just doing my part, in these trying times.

I’m loath to admit I wasn’t paying attention to the computer names that much. As a self-confessed gadget and computer freak, I come here for entertainment, which I get in spades. Much thanks.
I only remember voyager. The rest of the computer names are kinda vague. I’ll try to remember tinman.
Mine are :
dopey, a 15″ 2007 Macbook Pro
sneezy, a 2007 black Macbook
sleepy, a 2007 MacMini
bashful, a 2006 Athlon64 4200+ X2 PC clone running Vista (for games and IE7 compatibility checking of my web work) and Ubuntu in dual boot
happy, a 2006 MacMini, with 2.5 TB of Maxtor external USB drives
doc, a 2006 Athlon64 4200+ X2 PC clone running SuSE Linux, with 2.5 TB of internal drives, makes rsync backups of happy every 6 hours
bruenor, a November 2007 iPhone
thorin, a Mini-ITX PC clone running Gentoo Linux, acting as firewall, router and VPN
dori, a PocketPC running Linux, for wireless networking research
nori, another PocketPC running Linux, for wireless networking research
gimli, a Nokia N770
and 7 unnamed gumstix ( http://gumstix.com ), for even if I named them, I can’t tell them apart physically without marking them in some way
