I have two Macs, I call my PowerBook G4 "Lucifer", while I call my MacBook Marklar.

So what do you call your Mac? :)

Well my friend calls mine a Quackintosh, but that's just cause he's a Window user. :eek: :p

To me, it's a computer.
My boyfriend refers to it as "the-relationship-breaker". I have no idea why :confused::p

My Macs have generic names, too. "The iMac" and "The Macbook" and rarely "Blackbook". Most of my friends call it "The Mac" Or "The Apple" because they have never seen another Mac.

My computers are as follows:

MBP - Apollo, keeping in line with my sky themes.
iMac G4 - Flagship (also my WiFi network name).
PowerMac G4 - Clockwork. Its secondary internal HD is Vault.
PowerBook G4 - Mercury, or informally, Sir Woz (due to the fact it's signed by Steve Woz).

My 20GB 3G iPod is Aurora.
My 250GB FW External is Horizon.

It's a bit funny when I actually reference one of my machines by the above names and a few select friends know what exactly I mean... Things like: "Hey, I used Clockwork last night for all this Photoshoppin'. Gotta Love Panther's speed on that tower!"

My iMac is officially called "(First name) (Last name)'s iMac G5", but I colloquially refer to it as "my G5".

My AirPorts are named Concorde and Triple Seven. ;)

My wench calls my G5 "Your Lady". And I call "Your Lady" Jackie. "Your Lady" or Jackie calls me "Nightfall, my sweetheart" when she hears or listens or is able (or perhaps willing) to respond -- (Sometimes the speech program is touchy). My wench calls me ... well ... better not say, but it's not what Jackie calls me.:confused::eek::p:D:rolleyes::cool::apple:

Hmm, same as my Mac. Does the reasoning behind yours also relate to a certain Shakespearian play?
