Naming schemes (was upcoming classiccmp wierdness)

Rumor has it that Vintage Computer Festival may have mentioned these words: I concur... ;-) The machine names I used to use were generally pretty bland; but start with a 'z': zmerch = main work machine zhome = main home machine Secondary name for my home machine: zgoon = dual Athlon MP 2600+'s, dual 3COM NIC, dual SCSI onboard, special 460W PS, 2.5G RAM, 3 HD's, CD-R, DVD-R, firewire, and prolly soon have SATA ;-) zmaggie = wife's machine zkids = kid's machine zfudge = Fujitsu laptop, hate the spelling, so... zms = If I'd ever gotten my DECstation 3100/m38 on the network with TCP/IP, that would have been it... zqms = QMS magicolor2 color laser printer zivo = my TiVo ... however ... It's getting to the point that it's easier just to remember the IP addresses (especially when I tape a label with it to the machine...) so I don't name them anymore. Oh, and I only have one 'full-time' POS (kids machine for kids games) - I usually keep a small Win2K partition for work on most of mine, but they usually spend most of their time in Linux... Wife's machine has *only* Linux, so I'm working on eliminating what I can... ;-) Laterz, Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger --- sysadmin, Iceberg Computers zmerch(a)30below.com Hi!
