What is your Computer's Name?
« on: October 06, 2012, 07:12:09 PM »
Did you name your computer something funny, cute, meaningful, or random?  Or is it just a default name?  I'm curious. :P

My laptop's name is GLaDOS after the antagonist of the Portal games.  It's appropriate because of my username here, and I have Turret sounds to greet me when the computer starts up, along with a wallpaper of a turret aiming its laser at me.

Don't know how to look for your computer's name?  In Windows, if you right-click on "Computer" and click "Properties," it will show you the name of your computer and also allow you to change the name with administrator rights.  As for Mac and Linux...  well, I might have to get back to you. (Or someone else might know...  Heck, it may even be the same procedure...))

Mine is named Mimic.  :P  My husband actually is the one that named my computer for me.  He was setting it all up, and thought it would impress me that he finally knew Mimic's name.  (He usually refers to her as "Mystic.")

My hard drive is named Pinkie Pie.  Again, courtesy of the hubs.

My desktop is named GLaDOS too! I don't remember what I named my netbook though (probably "Mikayla's computer" or something).
