We just had one of these dropped off:

http://www.sgi.com/servers/altix/

We need a name for it. Suggestions?

Tron...the lines remind me of the movie for some reason.

somebody suggested:

lol

Every time I look at that monster, I imagine the monolith scene from 2001 Space Oddessey. (cue fanfare!)

Betty...

Betty Davis

Sigh... too bad SGI is teetering on the verge - they sure make purdy h/w.

Black Betty is the server from Dilbert's workplace.

My roomie's old server was The Wumpus.

My two computers are named Erwin (after User Friendly) and Shirley (from the band Garbage).

I also had a computer for a week, so I gave it the name "Mildred the Temp"... hehehe

Dunno if any of this inspires you to names of your own...

I have to throw my 2 cent name in there

"puter"

just plain pu-ter

At home I name my machines after types of sushi.

So -- what kind of machine would you call "toro"?

Ken

toro = my most expensive machine

Sigh -- sometimes it seems easier to buy the latest power workstation than it is to just get one little teeny-weeny slab of toro......

Ken

gûl = magic, `long study' (being used mostly of secret knowledge, especially such as possessed by artificers who made wonderful things)

elvish sindar word (J. R. R. Toliken.)
