The name game

We have a habit of naming our gadgets. It started with one, just for fun, and it gradually grew out of hand and became impossible to stop. So far we've got:

• Poppy the MyVi
• Makmak the Satria (okay, it's from his car plate, but it stuck and we say it with affection)
• Dante the ipod
• Salvador the vintage iBookG4
• Ophelia the MacBook (I thought it very apt when I found out her name means "help")
• Karlof the 500MB external hard drive
• Constantine the 1TB external hard drive
• Benoit the 2GB thumbdrive
• Mariella the 1GB thumbdrive
• Heidi the portable hard drive, who has unfortunately gone to the great electronics junkyard in the sky
• Olaf the new office PC
• Boris, the old office PC, who now sits in the living room of a 45-year-old Indian gentleman
• Raoul the video camera (named after Raoul Coutard).

Overloaded yet? Well our month-old D90 can now join that list. Everyone, here is Iris.
