I tend to name things after characters in the comic "Bloom County"

Opus - My Current PC, because its big, slow, and takes up space

Hodge Podge - My empeg, because it "hops" from my car to my stereo system (fyi: Hodge Podge is a rabbit)

Milquetoast - My PDA, because it's small and i've dropped it a couple of times and it won't die (fyi: Milquetoast is a roach)
