My west coast brother has informed me that today is "National Absurdity Day" and "Name Your PC Day." My first thought when I read that was that naming your PC is an absurdity. But then, I started to wonder "Why not?" i, and I suspect others, name other inanimate objects. Ships and boats are always named. People frequently have pet names for their cars, mine is named Blue. In fact, when I bought my Fiat, my attention was drawn to a large wall display in the showroom of pictures people had submitted of themselves with their car and telling the name of the car. So now I have started to think of names for my PC. After all, I probably spend more time with it than any other inanimate object except my car. Personal Computer is correct of course, but seems a little formal. Laptop is really more of a descriptor than a name. How about Pearl? The cover is pearly gray after all. Or Topper or Sonny or Apple (no wait, that one's taken). That's it, I can't think of any more. Come on Pearl, it's almost time for bed.
