I'm posting this from a T450, with (--pretty) hostname "Darth Zannah" (--static "darthzannah"). All my ThinkPads take her hostnames from characters with the Darth title.

My daily machine is a T470, an I5 that I got for $75 a couple of years back. My best, favorite machine! It didn't even stop when I spilled 1L of water directly onto the keyboard (It has a drain, as I found out). 'Invincible' is my suggestion!

or HAL because that's a shifted IBM.

Random question. I'm planning to buy a new laptop for uni, since I've just broken my ten-year-old MacBook. I have decided on a ThinkPad T450, but I need some help deciding on the hostname. On one hand, since it's a ThinkPad, I could call it Amethyst-II (my T400 is called Amethyst). On the other hand, since it's replacing my MacBook, I could call it Pearl-III (the MacBook was called Pearl-II, and my first MacBook was just called Pearl). What do you think?
