Okay. my shiny new laptop is on order (yes, another IBM), and it will need a name when it gets here. I name computers after TS Eliot poems, and laptops take names from Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. (Desktops use the rest of Eliot's canon, so I have Wasteland, Prufrock, and Hollowman. The old laptop was Macavity.) So, the new laptop needs a name. And below are a bunch of names from said book, so feel free to pick the ones you most like.

(I should note, I made them clickyboxes because it's okay to pick more than one.)

I think you should avoid naming it Macavity or Mistoffelees, because both of those aren't there when you need them. Therefore, I suggested the reliable ones, who are always there!

Well, the first computer Macavity was actually pretty reliable despite being named for the great cat mastermind. :)

But yeah, even then, people pointed out the incongruity in naming a laptop after that character. ;)
