Naming (Tech) Things

This blog post made me smile, because it’s a habit that I’ve followed for a couple of decades now.

In the 2000s, the first three family computers were named after the characters of the children’s television programme Hector’s House (Hector, Zsazsa, Kiki).

My current devices are named after characters from Danger Mouse — the iMac is ‘Colonel K’, the iPad is ‘Dangermouse’, and the iPhone is ‘Penfold’. 🙂
