Personification of our computers

I call it "it." Yeah, I''m creative. Even though I refer to it that way, I''m probably more attached to my computer than most people are to theirs .

I just call it "The Computer"

I hardly ever call it "A computer"

yeah I call it "it" mostly too. I think I may have referred to it as "she" though once or twice like you refer to a boat or car.

A CRPG in development...

Need help? Well, go FAQ yourself.

Depends, if it''s just sitting at the desktop, I call my computer She (just because Jeri Ryan probably wouldn''t approve of "it"), and otherwise I''d a have to be "it".

I don''t think the names that I call my computer would be appropriate to post on this board Needless to say it''s not always on my good side.

I always call it "it."

Poor thing. Probably feels like I don''t care about it something. It''s probably reading this and plotting it''s revenge against me...

I call it "Betty." Short for "Bitching Betty." As in this thing usually has an error at least 6 times a day and 2 crashes.

I wanna'' ride on the pope mobile.

I usually end up calling ''it'' a piece of crap (or at least when I am mad).

I''m right there with Gaiiden - "(fornicating) piece of (fornicating) (fecal matter)" for a start.

...bleep you, you bleeping bleeper...

my friends have a linux server in their house called "mother". It is generally understood that she is the leader of the household, and any time someone says something offensive about linux, people whisper "Quiet! Mother will hear you!"

wow I am getting responses that are stranger than I expected

I have been known to give my monitor obsecene finger gestures now & again.

It.


I am not even creative enough to have decent network names for them... Because they default to "localhost", I have named one "k7host" (being a k7), and the other is named "el_host", because it is a k7 too, but I can''t duplicate the name...

Well, my computer is named 500 on my network, though I am seriously thinking about giving her a name...

I call it ... the PC.

Dammit, so much for creativity...

Although I usually call my computer ''it'', sometimes the moment is just too much for words, and I end up punching the monitor.

Well, sure, the keyboard is cheaper. But the keyboard doesn''t have a "Windows Protection Error" message on it. I always kill the messenger.

Strangely, my younger brother actually thinks like that.

I call mine Timmy (I like south park and my computer is retarded but at the same time cool, so it fits).
