    Back in my high school in Livonia, New York we named our computers (one
terminal and a bunch of micros) with out-of-the-way names.

Tex
Gertrude
Igor
Issabel  (Izzy for short)
Agatha
Herbert and
Martha   (one of the math teachers' name)

(If your name appears on this list my condolences.)

   May I suggest to anyone getting a new vax...	carpetvax
						thumbvax
						teavax
						incomevax
						excizevax
						etc...

I know those were pretty weak, but what the heck.

How 'bout "vax the knife"?   No?     How about:	candlevax
						floorvax
						earvax
						beesvax
						Johnsonvax
						etc...
These even sound like you have a slight German accent if you say them right.

I hope I've help someone come up with something.  (But I doubt I have.)
