Panther on Panthro?

I am tempted... oh so tempted... to alter my machine and drive naming scheme again. For the past few years, I've dealt solely in Pokemon names, since there are SO many, and it was easy for me to come up with them.

The old 6300 which gave/gives me a headache: Psyduck.
The 7500: Gengar (because Gengar's design kicks ass)
The dual-processor Wintel box: Mewtwo (get it? 2 processors?)
The laptop: Lapras (not only the 'lap', but Lapras is also an ice pokemon...)

I remember the days of Kinko's, when our naming schemes were such things as characters from Simpsons, South Park, Fat Albert, ships from the Alien films... back when we had a cohesive computing environment provided by Mister Clean-Computer himself.

So, my Panther install ended about 1am. I am running on maybe 5 hours of sleep. Surprisingly, I feel pretty good.

But, I think it's time to change the scheme. Someone I know uses ex-and-current-boyfriend names. Frankly, I don't want to be reminded of my ex's. I'm not into much these days in the way of pop-culture.

BING! I know. I got it. Of course, I am SO stupid. Never have I ever had such a perfect scheme for me.

It's so perfect it just might last.

William. Patrick. Jon. Tom. Peter. Colin. Sylvester. Paul. Richard. And, hopefully, Eddie.

Fun.

why not the thundercats as your scheme, since you already did the "panthro" bit in the title?

Probably because I only know a couple of the character names, since I've only ever seen one episode.

I'll stick to Doctor Who, I think. At least those names, I know. And, with luck, I'll be able to find good enough photos for icons.
