there's an icebreaker question

what did you name your first computer

my first one (that was really Mine) was an emachines pc got on special on black friday; i stood in line like 30 minutes before best buy opened in the pre-sunrise dark with my mom so we could grab it

the theme for computers on our network was currently grecoroman mythology so i named it Eos, after the rosy-fingered goddess of the dawn, because i got up so fucken early in the morning to get it lmao

@wigglytuffitout tfw your first computer predated household networking

not that I remember the first computer I had with a proper hostname either, that was 15 years ago .-.

@pettancow it may just be my family's thing but i think my parents were naming computers way before they wired up a home LAN - lmao

then again we also name our cars and that's why i have accidentally created a serial killer theme for mine? sooo uuhhh ymmv

@wigglytuffitout I mean my mom named her computers and hard disks after Lovecraftian mythos, I just never really thought about it until I was setting up a computer of my own that wasn't a commodore 64

And I still don't remember the name of it.

@wigglytuffitout Also I think I was off on the number, it was probably closer to 18 years ago that I got that non-C64 computer. While we were still on dialup, even

@wigglytuffitout didn't name computers for a long time but model1 after the sega arcade board
