My Computers
Over time, I’ve accumulated a bunch of computers, and like every good geek, I chose a naming convention for them: Stars.
These are all the machines that I currently own or administer.
* I just sold my Powerbook G4 to my mother, but I kept the machine name for myself and intend to use it for my future MacBook Pro (whenever Jobsy decides to release new ones)
Regarding Astra: I know that it isn’t a star name…it was the first machine that I used the naming convention for and I didn’t feel like going to the trouble to change it.
My next major machine, likely a nice linux server, will be named Vega.

sold it to your ma? shame on you. You should buy her a new macbook! Love the naming convention. I call mine quirkier silly names. EG Tangy, madame LePosh, Bucephallus Bouncing Ball, Hydra.
Where abouts in Seattle do you live? Great town really miss it.
She didn’t really need the power of a MacBook, so this was a cheaper alternative. She loves it so far.
I live on the eastside, but I do enjoy going into the city every so often.
