Exactly. My main workstation/server (till I get a separate server) is
neuromancer, my test box is wintermute, my router is alice, and my
laptop is joshua. I had also named my parents' windows computer
HAL9000 and HAL10000. My fiance's desktop is Canti. And the server
is slated to be named aivas.
The only time I changed that scheme was I named my server at school
feanor, till my teacher made me change it to server12.
