Meet Adam
2004.11.01 8:56 AM

I finally gave in to actually identifying my Powerbook.

Since everyone else was doing it… and I actually do have a name for my PC (Halimaw)

Since it was my first Apple, I was thinking in the lines of Adam and Eve… and since it’s soooo common to have a woman’s name for a computer, I decided to stick with the masculine naming preference – like what I did with Halimaw

Besides, despite the elegance, a “Powerbook” on a UNIX based core… this thing purely suggests something masculine.

So there we have it… meed Adam.
