Just for kicks, I thought I would pose a fun question to you all:

What have you named your tablets, and what was the reason?

Perhaps we can run a poll on the best name at the end of the day.

EIPI: Mine is named X-Wing, since I have a Star Wars theme going on in my home network. My servers are named for droids, and my desktops are named after planets in the SW universe. Ship names made sense for portable devices. And yes, my invisible SSID is 'The Force'.

Dang I did not see that thread. Hopefully I won't get in trouble from the mods - oh wait there are none (yet)!

"littlemonster" according to DNS, "Nokia-N810-23-14" by default. "littlemonster" is part of my theme at home - godzilla, ghidora, etc ... (Originally I had it convinced that it's own name was something more creative from the godzilla line of movies, but it got lost during one of the reflashings, and I never really noticed .....)

The 770 is called NokiLL0, the N800 NaB00. Although the latter is temporarily -- and more correctly -- named "B0rked".

My tablet (N800) is named theMicro (in form with my other machines, theMachine = desktop PC, thePhone = phone, theBeast = T61p laptop, and theCubed = server)

theMicro was named 'Master Hacklet' for a while just to freak out the sysadmins at my other school when they checked the DHCP logs
