Nutcase... :-) But why not, eh? When you have several machines in use, it makes sense to give them a handle so you know which one you mean. So I've got "Amy" or "the Toaster" as my main 2000. The spares in storage don't get names... that would make it hard to canabalize them for parts. :-)  The peecee I'm on now is "The Labor Day Machine" because that's the day (U.S & Canadian holiday) I found it in the trash. It replaced "Nevian" after the co-worker who gave it to me. It replaced "Mousetrap" built in a peecee tower that used to hold external HDs for the Amiga 3000 at the store (Better Mousetrap) where I once worked. :-)

At work we used to have two servers called "Ben" and "Jerry" after the ice cream. They were housed it what used to be the mainframe room... which had enough air conditioning to cool off the big honkin' mainframes that once lived there. Without them, the room was a freezer....
