Here are the names for my current systems:
Commodore 64C: "Triumph"
Original Apple Macintosh: "Leela"
Texas Instruments TI-99/4A: "Delorean" (Think about it.)
Apple Macintosh Portable: "Monolith"
Tandy Color Computer III: "Spectrum"
Sharp PC-7000: "Boombox" (That's what I thought it was, until I opened it
up!)
Tandy 200 Laptop: "Butterfly"
Epson QX-10: "Shapeshifter" (This gem has a Titan graphics & MS-DOS board
in it, hence the name.)
Otrona Attache: "Scout" (Self-explanitory)
--Former systems--
Corona Data Systems PPC-XT: "Yugo"
Grid GridCase3: "Challenger" (Named after the space shuttle. Oddly
enough, this machine started giving off magic smoke plumes, so I tossed
it.)
--Prospective System--
HP-85: "Mercury"
