    They’re your best friend on almost any day, they work tirelessly to keep you in communication with friends and family, connected with work and the goings-on in the world around you. Sometimes they need a little love, and sometimes they need to be recognised as the individuals they are. Just like your cars, your PC has a personality all its own, and just like your car, it deserves a name of its own. Name Your PC Day is your opportunity to stop putting that off and finally christen your PC once and for all.

    Mine's called Mac.

  2. I regularly call my windows laptop all sorts of names. I’ve recently had to fit a new screen to it after I was forced to give it a bit of education on who’s the boss in our relationship.

    I hate windows and this will be the last PC I will own. It’s Apple or a chrome book for me from now on.

  3. Mine is also called Mac :cool:.
    Just a quick note on computer literacy. My last boss had lost something on her computer, and was on the phone to IT. I heard him say to her “it’s on your Desktop” she was looking all over the desk, moving papers and everything. :lol:

  5. It has always seemed strange to me to to give a personal name to inanimate objects - so I'm out

  8. Mine is called Bloody Thing
    Don't want a MacBook because if they get another referendum will my data have a hard border instead of a hard drive ?

    My 18 inch screen Windows laptop from 2010 is called Smaug.

    And the file server answers to www.hamble.online or host.hamble.online.

    And the games/streaming PC is called Picky after the nickname of one of our guinea pigs.

    The other four or five old laptops I cant remember their names.

    Lots of inanimate objects have names. Ships, railway engines, campervans, stars, biscuits, paint colours, the list is endless!

    My laptop is called "The Laptop" and my tablet is called "My Tablet ".
     
  12. All our kitchen cupboards have names like
    Cupboard Plastique

    Draws metalique

    The naughty cupboard

    Man drawer

    The cupboard where things fall out and sit in your head like a crown.

    The nut cupboard

    As this is a family friendly classic car forum the swear filter won't let me tell you what I call mine.
