    At my old work we used the names of greek/roman gods....

    Now I do law firms and the names are lame.

    If the place was called Klyde and Kalmer the names would look like this

    KKServer
    KKExchange
    KKSnap1
    KKFirewall

    You get the point! My servers and workstations at home are all named after chics I've dated or wish I would have dated.... My favorite server is named Alisha, damn thing is moody as hell, runs when it wants to!

    Me tend to name mine after gem stones ya know Diamond, Ruby...etc. I'd say the hard job of sys admin is knowing you have a ( | ) of work gotta hire outside consultants give them the scope of work while you fend off all your users and owners in a panic cause they have to work local and the consultants read say the understand the scope of work then do totally lame things cause you were keeping 47 users and 3 owners from distracting them from the scope of work that was not followed and leave you with a root password that is a cryptic message to me..me thinks that PO is a 120 day thing LOL
