Do you name your technology?

I didn't what to put this on the tech board and annoy all the wire heads, but. Do you name your technology? Laptops, PCs etc? I KNOW at least on of you here does (you will be outed if you don't fess up), and a few IRL - I recently discovered my brother and I had both been doing it for years totally unawares of each other.

My laptop's name is Brian, he's a tired old queen. 'He' because when he wasn't working once I hoovered his grooves and it got his fan working for the first time in months, and I decided anything that responds that well to a good suck is definately a boy. He also is quite temperamental and decides to dim the backlight whenever he fancies. But then again he's 8 - that must be 80 in laptop years :D

    Why a 'queen'? Does he respond better to the male touch? :p

    My PC has recently been named Priscilla because she's grouchy and temperamental!

    Nope, although I always re-name my external HDD's something absurd but never talk about them using those names.

    lol it's because he'd so obsessed with the backlight dimmer, I decided in my infinite wisdom that only women and gay men are that concerned with ambience :D
