Well, wait until you have seen the list of software packages!

dpkg -l|grep ^ii|wc -l

dpkg -l|grep ^ii|wc -l

I should not forget to mention that "ganymede" is my laptop, whereas "jupiter" is the server. Other client names include "callisto", "io" and "europa"; these are the four moons of Jupiter that Galileo discovered. For geeks like me it is important to have a naming scheme; and let me warn you to never use a real person's name, it is not a good idea!

I let computers name themselves...like pets do.

They will tell you if you 'listen'.

EdTheSlowAss: as in Special Education...slow...came to my home by riding the little yellow computer bus. Everyone knows it as Ed...and everyone else calls it Ed...and when referring to a conversation I had with a real guy named Ed to a friend of mine, she was a bit afraid of my P1...thinking my PC was now talking to me.  :P

Yasmin: Ed's younger, faster, but just as retarded sister (not going to tell you who 'Yasmin' really is in real life.) :-[

Murphy: my dead P3...as in Murphy's Law...anything that can go wrong will, at the worst possible moment, nothing is as easy as it looks, and everything takes longer than you think. It died on Halloween, right before I was to teach a class on HTML and not only were my files I needed hostage, but that made it impossible to teach the class because the software I was going to use doesn't run on Ed very well. :'(

When that P3 is rebuilt and turned into a P4 Prescott 3.0, I will hopefully be able to call it Lee...as in Lee Majors, who played the 6 million dollar man...they made him better, faster, stronger...and hopefully that is what will happen to that P3. (I hope it doesn't end up keeping that Murphy reputation it has always had.) :o

Jordy: my Jornada 540 Pocket PC (name makes sense, doesn't it?) :tellme:

Doorstop: an old Zenith Data Systems P1 that I found in the trash which I have never tried to find out if it works or not.

Lappy: my daughter's laptop (she wasn't very creative naming it)  :huh:

Yes, I relate to computers and have relationships with them much in the same way most would relate to people. (don't be thinking anything dirty) And just like people, they all have their own personality, quirks, and character flaws.
