Here are the names for my current systems:
Commodore 64C: "Triumph"
Original Apple Macintosh: "Leela"
Texas Instruments TI-99/4A: "Delorean" (Think about it.)
Apple Macintosh Portable: "Monolith"
Tandy Color Computer III: "Spectrum"
Sharp PC-7000: "Boombox" (That's what I thought it was, until I opened it
up!)
Tandy 200 Laptop: "Butterfly"
Epson QX-10: "Shapeshifter" (This gem has a Titan graphics & MS-DOS board
in it, hence the name.)
Otrona Attache: "Scout" (Self-explanitory)
--Former systems--
Corona Data Systems PPC-XT: "Yugo"
Grid GridCase3: "Challenger" (Named after the space shuttle. Oddly
enough, this machine started giving off magic smoke plumes, so I tossed
it.)
--Prospective System--
HP-85: "Mercury"

I'd be
interested to find out what network names/nicknames some other
classiccmpers have given their machines.
I've been using intellgent computers from sci fi for a while. The
laptop I'm using now is called nomad (from Star Trek) and my gateway
is called orac (from Blake's 7). I've got some Suns that I hope to
have back on-line soon with names like colossus, guardian, hal,
m5 and zen. Of course, my daughter wanted me to name her machine
fluffy (from Harry Potter) and my wife's is taliesin (from Arthurian
legend).
