Hi Tony,

My original Commodore XT was called "Slug", my Commodore PC 40 was calleed
"Slug II", it's kinda stuck - the cuurnt machine (2 GHz AMD) is called "Slug
VII". Oh yeah, "Slug" still chugs along too :-)
Back then, I had an A1000 ("Amy" - so original!) & "Slug", she was called
that because the A1000 was soooo much faster.
Nowadays Slug VII does a good job emulating Amy several times faster than
she ever ran. <sigh>
Mind you, Amy still gets fired up so I can play my all time favourite
Monopoly game written in ABasiC :-)
The Linux server is called "Bag Lady" - most of her (recycled) components
came to me in a canvas bag.....
cheers,
Lance
