Okay everyone, what've you guys named your computers? Surely you haven't kept the lame default names.
At home, I've got Marathon, my dual 1.8 GHz G5.
At work, I've got my other G5, Halo. My G4 test box is Mirata. The 15" PowerBook is Cortana (since it's mobile and all ). Our CVS server (running Gentoo Linux) is Unicron. Our CVS test server is Protocron. My coworker has Galvatron.

The laptop has my name as it (since it'll be on LANs quite frequently). On the other hand, when I get my new computer and format the old one to boot Linux, I'm gonna name the old one "Space Monkey" and the new one "Desktop". "Space Monkey" mainly because I'm gonna be running CS servers on it.
