Hmm.. That makes my computer names very boring.. "Server, Jope, Vehje,
Laite, Boing, Momentum"

Vehje translates roughly to "thingamajig" and Laite is just machine or
appliance.

Guess which ones are the Amigas?-)

Seems I'll have to come up with something interesting the next time I
add a machine to my dns.. :-)

We name our servers at work after letters of the Greek alphabet..

Alpha   -  ex P90, 92mb RAM, now deceased
Beta    -  P90, 92mb RAM, Netware 4.11
Gamma   -  2xPII400, Netware 4.12
Delta   -  4xPIII500, 2gig RAM, NT 4 Terminal Server
Epsilon -  4xPIII500, 2gig RAM, NT 4 Terminal Server
Eta     -  PDC for NT Domain
Theta   -  BDC for NT Domain

We did consider naming them after Star Trek:TNG characters, or maybe Roman
Emperors, but greek alphabet won out.

As for my computer on my desk, it doesnt have a name.  Not even a brand!

Mistake Andy. I'd much rather log in to \\Nero than \\Epsilon. Either is
better than \\Picard, and \\Data would get a bit confusing (unless it was
the current Gamma)

	I dunno about that...while I was network admin at a local
telecom place here, I named all the computers after Star Trek starship
names...Excelsior, Pasteur, Reliant, Stargazer, etc.  
	It was a kick in the head (ok...only for me because I'm a
die-hard Star Trek geek) to log into Stargazer... ;)

The computer I'm using right now is called "lambda79" (there are also
computers here called jota and sigma, and probably some other Greek
letters too). I'm also logged in at ludd, where they have some very
weird names:

http://www.ludd.luth.se/mwho.html

"My" computer? I'm not sure, but I think its name is "litterbox".

Extending this practice to Iain M. Banks's Culture ship names could be,
um, interesting..


I can't really supply any appropriate ascii art as I have a hard time even
imagining what a GSV would look like - I can visualize an Orbital, but
drawing one would be a pain. But the original subject of this thread
reminds me of this little critter from the comic strip User Friendly:

There are no Amigas on my network, although I do have two ... A500 and A500+

reasons.

Well you keep well away from my names y'hear?


Incidentally, the place where I used to work had machines named after 'Mr
Men' (those book characters)
They start off OK, with mr-messy and mr-bump, but then they got carried away
and called them things like mr-tanaka (my old boss's machine) and ms-busty
(hmmm...) ... In a burst of imagination, mine was called mr-martin, although
now I don't work there anymore it's become the very dull 'support3' :o)

This is 'nurgled', although when I made the picture this is the only
computer I had. This is the one with the modem in it, that I use as a proxy
for the others when I can be bothered, but I usually just use it directly
since it's easier than wrestling with proxy settings. I'm typing this on
nurgled right now for precisely that reason.

Jope is my Pentium, Boing and Momentum are the Amigas, but I guess if
you're not a fanatic the names won't say much.. ;-)

Totally over the topic, but the A1200 wouldn't be too hard / expensive
to get connected.. Email me for more info if you don't have it
already. :-)

Ok, I'll do that.. :-) I don't think my imagination is that good with
these.. Just look at the machine and think what comes to mind.

Haha.. Ingenious.. I've seen walt disney names in Helsinki University,
afaik, and Helsinki U of Technology has those boring greek letters.

I might take a shot of picturing Momentum (Boing's right next to it,
but an A500 is tedious to draw :-)

Guess I'll have to draw it again soon, as my tower case finally
arrived today.. Now all I need is to go to the post office and get it.
Yay!

Well, I did draw the keyboard - I was thinking of drawing the rest too,
but decided it didn't really add much to the picture. (For those not
familiar with them, the Amiga 500, 600 and 1200 had the motherboard under
the keyboard in the same unit.)

No wait, that was the A1200, not the A500. I think there was some
difference with the logo but I'd have to take the A500 out of the box to
check that. Anyway, it's at http://www.sci.fi/~iltzu/ascii/keys03c.asc - I
won't post it here since it'd just wrap in most newsreaders.

It's the same keyboard, only tan instead of white, no hd-led, and the
amiga-logo is higher, so it wouldn't be seen in your picture.
