Help Name My New Laptop

[0pheliA]

I am heading out to pick up a new machine (Laptop. 17.3" Quad Core)

I always name my computers after fictional computers, trying to figure out a name for it.

Current Laptop is Mycroft

Previous was Synergy

All my Desktops have been iterations of Teletran

Considering Holly, but unsure. Anyone have any other suggestions. Purposefully avoiding Hal.

M5

...or Colossus.

Colossus is actually one I had on a backburner for my next desktop.

M5 is suitably nerdy and tempting

Greg Bear's novel Moving Mars had an artificial intelligence named Alice as one of the characters.

Speaking of AIs, how about Gigolo Joe from the movie A.I.?

Wintermute

How did I forget Neuromancer? I was just suggesting the Sprawl books to a friend yesterday O_o Bad Opie! BAD

Glad I could be of service madam . I just read it a few months ago is probably why it popped into my head.

His name is Mycroft. Named after the computer in Heinlein's "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress", which is itself named after Sherlock Holmes brother.

Ah. The more badass, but lazier Holmes. I will honor that name.

Its kinda like the comparison between you and I.

You are badass but lazy, I'm brilliant and dynamic!

True enough. But like Mycroft, when properly motivated, I preform magic. Just a lot of work motivating me.

Glad you found something... not that I've ever named any of my computers, but I know many people that do.

('formers fan, have read every nearly every Heinlein book, HOLLY! lol (red dwarf))

First thing that popped to mind was Trillian (hitchhikers guide), but that doesn't really fit with the rest of your choices.

I still stick by little bitchtits P:

If I were to pick a fictional computer from Hitchhikers, I'd name it Earth.

Neromancer has a lot more "street cred" anyway. Strangely not all that many people have read it, and its a book i recommended a ton, so U know it must be awesome. lol
