Also, I seem to recall once-upon-a-time that there was some sort of
potentially malicious exploit that depended on the system drive being
the default "Macintosh HD" name.

The OT question is : What does everyone name their hard drives and/or
computers on your network? I figure with the creative crowd here in
Powerbooks there might be some pretty neat names for drives/computers
out there. Mine have names such as Waldo, Dude, Bubba, Buddy, Bedmac,
Kathjam, and, my favorite, Bobomb (from the Mario games). Any cool
ones in the ether?
An ungodly number of people have "Macintosh" or "Macintosh HD" because
they never realize they can rename it.
On my home desktop they're: Mongo, Big Stash, Das Boot, and Pile.
My Powerbook 540c's is called 'Zilla Jr. (from the days when I called
my drives after Japanese monster movie monsters...then I had Godzilla,
Gameron and Mothra in my desktop system ;-) I forget what the 5300's
drive is called.
My work machine has BigWerx and Userland, and an external SCSI called
Pile which I usually have turned off since the fan has an annoying
buzz on it.
I have a huge pile of CD-Roms, Zip and floppy disks called Stuff. Does
make it a pain to find things.
