For years, I named my computers after favorite rock bands. The first one that came to mind when I started was Missing Persons. So the first computer was named Missing. Which proved to be a little problem when I called IT when I was having trouble getting it to join the corporate domain. "What's the name of your computer?" "It's Missing." "Well, you need to give it a name first." Hilarity fails to ensue.

My current Win7 laptop is Starbuck from BSG. My other stuff is based on Bourne Identity (this laptop used to be Bourne, wireless is Treadstone, etc.). I have no set theme, just whatever I feel like. My desktop is Bauer.

I’ve found that if we don’t name it after something that it does then someone will eventually screw something up.
