All of my computers (11 so far), all networked devices (printers, NASs, handhelds, ...), and some other devices have been named. My computers and handhelds have all been named after computers or AI's that have appeared in SF stories.
My K3 is named Pauline after the AI used first by the character John Boone in Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars. My previous reading device, the UX-50 in my avatar, was named Rei Toei after the synthetic persona in William Gibson's Idoru. Last edited by dwig; 10-06-2012 at 10:58 PM. |

I never even thought of giving them names, other than something to remember which is which when sending files.
KK - *** KFire - ***'s Fire iPhone - ***'s iPhone Humm, I may have to get creative and come up with something. |

I didn't give my other Kindles any special names, but my KPW is Edelweiss. "Small and white, clean and bright / You look happy to meet me!"

Ugh, of course! For some reason, I was thinking Aschenputtel/Aschenbroedel, which is the same thing. I wanted something with "white" in it

My paperwhite is named Hole-y Mole-y, because it came with a tiny hole in the light diffusion layer down on the bottom left side. I should probably fuss at Amazon about a replacement.
