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.
