Nomenclature
In merely hours, I will have my new computer. Something just occurred to me - it needs a name! This laptop has served me well under the moniker "yossarian". Before that, my Toshiba was "hebrewhammer". So what will the new one be?
The nominees so far:
t-rex - gotta love Dinosaur Comics!
bender or morbo - Futurama
adama - BSG
arthurdent - Hitchhiker's Guide
koufax - The Pitcher
gromit - though Gromit would be lonely without Wallace (not to mention we had a Wallace and Gromit at NGP when I was there)
strindberg - It always seems to come back to August Strindberg, doesn't it?
Right now I'm leaning Koufax, but I'm open to suggestion. There is some time before it's arrival, and even more time before I install the OS and commit to a name.

I have a habit of naming computers the first name of a historical bad person. Elizabeth, Vlad, Ivan, Fidel, Idi, etc.
So I guess you might want to name your computer Ayn or something similar :-)
