I know this maybe odd but did you ever give your computer a name? When my mom bought us a computer we named it David but my mom didn't like the computer and returned it back. Then we bought Henry and it's always been Henry till this day.

My point is do you have a name for your computer? Or even a nickname? :lol: Sorry if this belongs in nut news.

I'm pretty sure that's it... so it's the service code or whatever it is from the manufacturer, but that's still it's name :P (seriously. somewhere there's a name associated with the computer and that's actually what it's set as- also, i know that my high school names all their computers as [room number]-[computer number] so they know which one is which on the network)

found it: in Windows 9x, if you go to the control panel, open the network thing, and on the identification tab there's a space for the computer's name. if you wanted to, you could actually name your computer :P

All PCs on my school network need to be named in order to get on the network... most people use their last name or something boring like that, but mine is (surprise!) quasigeek.

I'm already trying to think of a name for my next PC, but haven't thought of anything. Maybe something will come to mind when I'm building it. :P

We have to use our student ID number. 0000786 - how interesting.

I guess I'll have to think up some name for my computer. I feel so alone :cry:

On our mini-network this one is known as 'New', which is ironic because it's actually the old computer now :P Other times it's called 'stupid thing' or '@*(&**$#* monitor why won't you turn on!!!!!!' :P

The Simpsons, specifically the episode in which the teachers go on strike (Season 6 - "The PTA Disbands").

This one is "upstairs", one is "$#@!" and the other one is "The New one in the basement." However, this one has other names, like "@#%%" or "*$@#@"

When I first got my computer and XP was being installed in it, it asked me to put the name of my computer in a blank space. And I was freaking out because I thought that was the coolest thing ever.

So now, in honour of my best friend Emily, it's named Emily.
