It's alive...ALIVE

[eggwards]

Yep, I'm writing from the new iMac. It's up, running and FAST. Now I have two computers on my desk and my laptop is off in the other room. I will have to transfer a lot of files to make it like "home".

I pulled it out of the box as I was waiting for my laundy to get done, so I didn't get to do too much configuring yet, but luckily, with the wireless network, setting up to get on the internet was a snap.

Now I have two things to do. I need to name the new computer. The old iMac is known as Channel Z, named after the B-52's song from Cosmic Thing - "Gettin' Nothing but Static, Gettin' Nothing but Static, on Channel Z..."

The new computer's name is up for grabs right now.

Also, once old Channel Z is decommissioned, I'll have to find a place/use for it. I've been thinking of giving it over to the fraternity boys and girls, as their old Power Mac 650 is way past it's prime. I remember going to buy that old monster!

With that being said, it's poll time!

What is your old computer first? That might determine what can be done with it.

As for naming the new one, I always name my computers on the same theme. Right now the current theme is Pokemon characters. Squirtle is the laptop. Pikachu my desktop. The slow computer is Muck. Pokedex is the NT 4.0 Server (and Domain Controller). Etc.

The only one without a name is the PowerMac 7100 and that is simply because I so rarely use it anymore.

So on that theme, I'd call the new computer a B-52's song: "Debbie", "Deadbeat Club", "Love Shack"... Definitely Love Shack.
