Mine have been named in alphabetical order by age.  These are not
necessarily all current machines, btw, but ones I have had in the past as
well as current....

Machine		OS		Name
Pet 8032	-		Alfred
C-64		-		Bruce
C-128		-		Cosmo
Amiga 500	AmigaOS		Daphne
Amiga 2000	AmigaOS		Ethel
Amiga 1200	AmigaOS		Francine
K5/133		Windows NT	George (current)
K6-2/550	RedHat 6.2	Hermes (current)
386/20		Slackware 3.3	Indiana
Sparc IPX	Solaris 	Julius (current)
K5/166		RedHat 6.2	Killer (current)

The only other thematic aspect here is that all of the Amigas had female
names (they are amigA's, not amigO's) and that Killer is my firewall box,
and so is deserving of a vicious name.

There seems to be no limit to how long Verizon can hold up delivery of
a competitor's DSL.
