Nothing is stupid to give the name to the computer, I think !
My IMac is Chris and IbookG4 is Reggie. When I tell my friends that I am with Reggie - they know I am brining my laptop with me. Sometimes Reggie and me go to the cafe together to work on something.
My car has a name too - her name is Olallie.
Spending hours and hours with computer and in the car we develop bonds as with our friends, so we gave them the names. It is fine !
People were buried a centuries ago with their possesions that were valuable to them - horses, armor, slaves(!), wife(s) - I am thinking may be I have to mention in my will to be send to a different world with my dear Mac computers ?
