Windows XP allows you to name your computer, so we named it Garfield.

My current pc doesn't deserve a name. My next one will probably be called Donald though.

Well, I never think of naming some things, others people go "you name THAT?"
Sam is the name of my houseplant that lives in my dad's bathroom though. With this computer, it's probably earned the name Stupid. Sorry, Stupid.  That's what I call it most often, and what it responds negatively to.

I used to name everything when I was a kid. I named the computer we had at the time, but I haven't named this one. Or my laptop (though that one probably should have a name so I can insult it more effectively).

I don't name my computer. It is a nameless wretch. If it actually behaved I might favour it with a name, but as of now I don't feel like conferring upon it a name.

Well the pc I had before that (an older but reliable model) I had indirectly named Baby. We were together for 3-4 years me and Baby. I got my sisters' pc after she got a new one, and it has all my stuff on it, but I haven't named it yet. Takes usually a year for that to happen.
