A moment of silence please.

[Mikeus Caesar]

At 17:42 GMT yesterday, my computer, Frederick, was sadly declared dead. As some of you know, for the last week or so he had been suffering, and yesterday he finally stopped working. He was a good computer, with parts from all sorts of computers. The fans from a 5 year old Time Computer, and a brand new Graphics card. But now he has passed away to computer heaven, as the Motherboard, Processor and Power Unit finally gave up and stopped working. At least once i buy a new computer, i can take all the good parts of the old one (Hard Drive, Memory, Graphics Card) and put it in the new one. That way, he shall live on, but in a new body.

Freddy, we hardly knew ye.

[discovery1]

You name your computers?

[Mikeus Caesar]

Mhm. The last one, who came before was called Humphry. He was quite good. I think he went into the making of Frederick. I want to save the stuff i have on Frederick though, because he has some quite old files on, some dating back to 1994. Oh well. If someone can come up with a good name for my next computer, i'll be happy.

[TheSilverKnight]

my computer is named George. He's a good mate of mine. May I suggest the name Henry for the next computer?

[Mikeus Caesar]

Henry was the name for the Time computer. We won it from the Daily Mail, and used him for about 2 years before replacing him with Humphry, who was replaced by Frederick who shall now be replaced by someone else.

Damn, i just realised. I'm going to have to buy replacement stickers too. I've got some cool ones on Fred. One of them is a joke on the Intel Inside stickers, saying Evil Inside instead.

[The Wizard]

Call the next one Maximillian.

[TheSilverKnight]

Give it a Germanic name. How about Albrecht von Hapsburg?

[Uesugi Kenshin]

......

There you go, I bet he was a good computer and his passing will be mourned.

I don't name my computers, perhaps I should.

[drone]

I usually alternate between Wintermute and Neuromancer. Yes, I am a geek.

Sorry to hear of your loss...

[The_Doctor]

I called my computer the TARDIS. When I log in I have a TARDIS sound from the BBC Doctor Who website.

It better be Berserker! the almighty kick-ass mushroom eater that rocks, or else you see the dark side of thy crazy yet cool Berserker!

[Kraellin]

i'm sorry, but if it's a windows machine, then it's GOT to be a female name (ducks and runs).

K.

[Zalmoxis]

Oliver.

[TheSilverKnight]

I still think Albrecht von Hapsburg would be a good name

[Samurai Waki]

My Office Computers Name is Phillis: I hate Phillis and so I kick him as much as I can

My Laptop Computer is called: Owen... don't know why, but he is my travel buddy

My Gaming Computer: Steve... because everyone with the name Steve is badass for some reason.

I made the decision, it's going to be 'George Bush', because it isn't working fine.

and I forgot: conmiserations Mikeus, this must be a terrible loss

[RabidGibbon]

My machine was known as Slartibartfast, until some fool decided to link it to his, couldn't be bothered typing in Slartibartfast all the time whilst trying to detect it and changed the name to computer one!!!!

Ignoramus.

[Kääpäkorven Konsuli]

Antero Vipula.
You can't find better name than this.

[frogbeastegg]

If my computer has a name it would probably be Blasted thing! That's what it ends up as most commonly.

I won't say what I was calling it a little over two weeks ago; suffice it to say it was long, inventive, and not at all complimentary. I was not very happy to find the motherboard, processor and RAM all nicely cooked and partially exploded thanks to a power surge, and my primary hard drive corrupted beyond all hope of rescuing data before I had chance to back up more than a few folders. It finally refused to work with this 'pleasant' smell of burning. 17 days later and it's finally back and working with half the innards replaced: thank God for insurance! Actually, it's quite a substantial upgrade; if it had not cost me about 95% of my data and a lot of lost time I'd be almost happy.

[Ianofsmeg16]
