If the name is printed on the machine (as is normally the case), then use that version!

Personally I prefer ][ or //, which are more memorable to me than II (yes, I know my
roman numerals... eg. MCMXCVIII is 1998 and MMVI is 2006. Ok, bit OTT. Alot of people know
roman numerals 1 to 12 from clockfaces, but few know beyond that... or atleast in my
experience that is the case). Do any other computers use roman numerals, either in the
name or for labelling buttons/switches?
The Symbolics keyboards had roman numerals I through IV across the top
or on the side, depending on the keyboard.
