Actually if you interoperate with Windows or Unix stytems or use a dns
system internally on your network a name is required.
As for multiple computers, some of us are collectors as well as users.
Not rich, just technojunkies or 21st Century version of packrats. I
really have no clue how many systems I really own. In my "official
collection" there are around 115-120. Then there are those work horse
machines (the white box clones, winblows machines, my wife and kids
computers, servers at the office) that I don't even count.

I'm amazed how rich some of you obviously are. 4 and
even 5 computors? I have 1 B&W that I bought used on
Ebay with no name, but have 5 hard drives. I think
this "name game" comes from HAL in 2001, a space
odessy. It's a movie way before your time. Rent it and
you'll understand although HAL doesn't appear until
half way thru the movie. BTW I have an incredible
sense of humor-it's just that naming your computor
isn't funny.
