What do you call your PPC?
My last Off-Topic thread was a huge success, let's see how far we get with this one.
Unless you're "lame" and use the default PocketPC partnership name, you generally want to give your PPC a name in About, under Settings.
What do you call yours?
Again, to start, myself: I am almost totally lame about this. I put my name, followed by "Handheld". i.e., "BigDaddyJHandheld" (except using my real name  ) Even worse, my desktop and laptop follow the same conventions. "BigDaddyJLaptop", "BigDaddyJDesktop", etc.
I'm totally non-original with this. How 'bout you? I'm sure some of you are more creative...

Mine is "Kati42". That probably qualifies as lame.
My current desktop is "Deep-Thought". My previous was "Orac". My laptop is "Zen".

Heh - there's a big NO. I should also be reviewing 2 papers, but I'm not in the mood at the moment. I did get out 10 job apps so far this week, so at least there's progress on that front. Now the long long wait to hear anything...
Bad part about sending out 30+ applications is all the rejection letters that means. <sigh>

My "old" Toshiba e740 was called "Marconi" (wireless, y'know!).
My new Compaq Tablet PC is called "Tabby" for short, because my cats get extremely jealous when I put it in my lap instead of them... :lol:

:lol: Say, do you like the Compaq Tablet PC? I looked at it today in a store for about 30 seconds, and I had mixed feelings about it. The hinge is really, really weird.

All my computers are named after Japanese weapons or words.
Main PC: Kensai (company name as well)
Server: Wakazashi
Video Testbed (Shuttle SS51G): Tsunami
Wife's computer: Yumi
Laptop: Shogun
Primary Pocket PC: LittleShogun
Other names for Pocket PCs have included Daikyu and Tanto.
Anyone want to break down the psychology of those names as they related to the devices? 8)
