RE: DOMAINS/Computer Names ( was...: Average Computing Devices\Person Ratio in UKHA households)

["Ian B" <Ian@xxxxxxx>]

My computer names are all Lord of the Rings based with Gollum, Sam, Bilbo, Pippin, Merryadoc and of course the server Gandalf. I have also been using these names for a number of years and it has nothing to do with the recent popularity of the film.

 

Everything runs Win2K except wifeys and that is on 98. The only reason is because little Molly's games won't run under 2K because they are so crap.

 

Total is about 11 including Psions and ePods. No IPaq's I am sorry to say. Most are low spec with the main work PC being a 233/P2 :-(( Unfortunately they all do exactly what I need so no need to upgrade. Needless to say games are not played on them. They could probably do Quake but that's all. I looked at a flight sim the other day but it needed 6 times the processing power that I had available not to mention everything else so I sighed and turned the other cheek.

LOL :-)

 

I havent replied because my PC's are such low spec compared to what most people have posted.

Interesting when people started putting machine names up.  It indicates the different ways that people think

 

So far we have seen the

 

 "Scientific Domain"

Turing

Feynman

Keplar

Babbage

Tesla

Newton

Faraday

Einstien

 

 

..... and the "Totty Domain".

 

Britney

Christina

Aqua

Pink

Shania

 

.... we havent had a domain named after a football team but I am sure there is one somewhere along with several following Sci-Fi themes.....

 

at work we have a domain called "CAT" which started out with proper names of big cats such as...

Panther

Cheetah

Leopard

Puma

Ocelot etc...

then we ran out so reverted to the cartoon/comic world....

 

Felix

Korky

Benny

Top     (OK TC! )

 

Mine all have to have names starting with a "K"

 

KRAZY (my machine)

KRIS (Sharon's Machine)

KATE ( Amber KATE Doxey's machine)

KHAN (Keith's Home Automation Network)

KOOL (Keith's Obsolete Old Laptop)

KIPAQ  ---- guess

 

and hopefully soon....

 

KITCHEN - (Keith's Intranet Touchscreen Controller - Home Economics Network)

....just made up the acronym for the Fujitsu that will be located in the kitchen for recipes and barcode reading

 

KASS (Keith's Automotive Sound System) a PC for MP3 in the car.

 

and if I ever get into Linux.....

KING (Keith's Intra-Net Gateway) a firewall machine - currently handled by the ISDN Router.

 

Sadly the "BEST" machine is only a K6-2-400 and 98SE is the most recent OS that they will run. Tried Win2K and it wouldnt work with the hardware :-(

UKHA Member> "oo er, I did tell 600 people details of my computer
systems, most of which I have never met, do you think that has anything
to do with my burglary officer"

Officer (on radio to station)> "Jim I got a right one here"
