Re: Drive names

[Clark Martin]

I started naming the computers and HDs after I got my second Mac (a 
new IIsi).  I use military aircraft names.  Workstations are named 
after fighters and servers after bomber/attack aircraft.  Mac vintage 
parallels aircraft vintage (more or less).  Thus my first Mac is 
named Sopwith and that IIsi is Mustang.  My old 7500 desktop is Eagle 
and this iBook is Raptor.  My file server started out as a IIsi 
called Liberator and has moved up through a IIci, Centris 650, WGS 
80, PM7500 and is now a 8550. The name has stayed Liberator as I 
wanted to avoid confusion among the family.  The two clones I have 
have the names of British planes and certain OTHER computers I have 
are named after German or Soviet planes, depending on vintage.

I name the harddisks with the computer name followed by " HD".  I do 
this to avoid having two or more server volumes on the desktop all 
named "Macintosh HD".  Machines running OS X that require the 8Gb 
first partition have HD partitions called "Machine Name Boot" and 
Machine Name HD".
