The name of my Teddy bear was just teddy bear (mis). My hard drives used to be named after the rooms I lived in + number... I stopped it after room7 however, because it just did not seem quite right. Then I partitioned my drive and called the partitions after home entertainment systems. Playstation, Xbox, TheCube. That was not the greatest thing either and after I decided to just make them one drive I called the united drive... “united”... how creative...
Now I renamed my drive “daily” and changed the icon to a rice bowl. Still not quite happy. What is the name of your drive? Does your computer have a name? Any stickers on it? Does it have a name?
My computer doesn't have a name, unless it's in harms way, then I scream "MY BABY!" As for stickers, it looks like I'm going to have to have this monitor forever since there are so many meaningful stickers stuck to it. From a modrobes campaign, "I want you in my pants"; another from a company my family business works with; lots of glow-in-the-dark space ships and aliens and post-it notes, lots and lots of post-it notes +o)

Pequod, Queequeg, Ahab, Starbuck, etc. When I intalled the X Beta, I partitioned the main drive in half, installed one OS on each (X and 9) and named them blandly "X Drive" and "9 Drive."
Now I have a single partition on my G4 iMac and a bland hard drive name (iMac G4) under the iMac icon from Iconfactory's World of Aqua.
