John, I can see your problem. You have to consider this carefully as 
computers need very little excuse to have bad moods and naming it 
badly could have dire consequences.
If it's any help, these are some of the names I use for my computer;
1)You bastard
2)Goddamn piece of sh*t
3)F***ing thing
4)Biiiiatch!
etc. You name the profanity and it will have been used in reference 
to my computer at some point.  According to Microsoft, windows 
NT/2000 doesn't blue screen. This is a lie.

Before you name it however, perhaps you should send it back and get a 
real computer, ie. one that runs MS applications, bluescreens 12 
times a day, freezes whenever you try to run Autocad, Winamp and 
Outlook at the same time, bluescreens in the middle of formatting 
the "My files" partition of my harddisk, bluescreens on startup, 
bluescreens on shutdown, bluescreens when you move the mouse too fast 
etc.

Still, I'm sure it's not Bill Gates' fault.
