What's your Mac's name?

Are you asking computer network name or hard drive name?

My 8500 is called Brian's Computer and the Rendezvous name is Brian-8500. The hard drives are called Pop, BigTruck and Crate.

The iBook is called iBook 466, Rendezvous is iBook-466 and the hard drive is called Hard Drive.

My duel HP is called HPDUEL for the network name and the hard drive is affectionately called C:.
 
my preciousss...

j/k :)

The name of my motherboard architecture for the 9600 'Mach V' series was Kansas. So I named it K4N545.

My last work machine was a B&W G3/450, I named it Y053M173.

My current machine is a G4/450, I named it S4W7007H.

Bear in mind I do name my machines so I can speak to them familiarly, but rather for a unique name on the network. My HDD names are all generic.
 
dual 500 g4 ==> "Twin Turbo"
800 mhz powerbook ==> "Wankel" (invented the rotary motor, e.g. mazda rx-7)
 
my harddrive

my harddrive is called "calanda". it's the name of the mountain i'm looking at, when i look out the window. and also the name of the beer, that a brewery produces 400 metres from my flat....
 
I don't have a name for my mac. I don't even think that I have thought about naming it. Maybe I should name it. Hmmm.....
 
My iPod and my iBook

Since I got my iPod and iBook around the sane time i gave them similar names.

20gb MacPod- eBob
800mhz Combo iBook- iBob or KiBook
 
It's sometimes easier to make the name of the machine (on the lan) and the boot partition the same. I'm not a believer in multiple partitions. I used to name my computers after chemical elements (e.g. chromium, silver, iron, etc.) but it got too confusing, so now I just name them after their numbers in my system cardfile:
G4 cube = number26
sun ultra 5 = number5
powerbook g4 = number4
various other macs = number28, number20
various pc's = number106, number19
I guess it's kind of like a football team :)
 
Motorola Starmax 3000/160
Name = Mother Ship
(Is it time to upgrade to System 7.6? aka, please die so I can buy a new powermac.)

ibook 600
Name= Hovercraft

Compaq 5600s
Name = Well, I call this thing a lot of names. None of which I choose to say in the company of such gentlemen as we have at MacRumors.
 
"Ohana" is actually family. I'm not sure about it being pearl....

My Centris 650 was named-Max
My iMac Rev A is named-Bondi
My iBook SE (FW) is named-Optimus

I have a pict of Optimus Prime in the background and had an autobot symbol as a hd icon. However I trashed the HD icon since I upgraded to os x.

Actually, "ohana" means family. I lived in Hawaii for 7 years and it's a very commonly used expression.

"momi" is commonly used in place of pearl.
