On Naming Computers

Hello… me back from oblivion!?… Nay! actually lots was happening in professional front lately and I will post soon about it. Right now, I want to point to this very interesting discussion on reddit. Naming computers and getting to know about reason behind their nomenclature, always interests me as it gives insight to that sci-fi loving kid in us or gives new life to old love with organic chemistry! Doesn’t make sense, do read :)

    When we (me and my brother) started naming our computers seriously it was all about the Matrix. (I don’t know why :) )

    Normally the fastest machine around is called ‘Matrix’. (Currently a P4)
    Then down the hierarchy are:
    - Mini Matrix – currently a P3, the download server
    - MatrixLappy – our first laptop
    - MatrixBlue – the cool laptop
    - MicroMatrix – my PDA
    - PicoMatrix – my old busted PDA :)
