My wife calls it Camilla at times (can't think why
), but for the majority of the time I don't call it anything. On the rare occasions where it isn't working as it should, or I'm getting a bit frustrated with it, the names I sometimes call it aren't suitable for printing!

Heh, though the computers have network names, I don't call them by that generally unless I need to refer someone to a specific network share. They are just "My main machine" "My guest machine" "My server" "My laptop" "The media machine" etc

Very true
Most of the time though it's called 'The Computer'.
Laptop is called "The laptop, or Lappy if I'm feeling chipper"
