I need a name for my new Mac
The Mac Mini I ordered on Tuesday night was just shipped and has begun it's journey to my office from the urban sprawl we call LA. If you want to participate in the excitement, subscribe to the RSS feed for its trip.

It's a Core Duo system with 2 gigs of RAM. The keyboard and Mighty mouse arrived today so it would be super-awesome if the Mini itself shows up tomorrow because then I can play with it over the weekend.

Related anecdote: I told my friend Deirdre that I was buying a Mini and she assumed I meant a Mini Cooper, leading to much hilarity.

	Magic just asked me to think of a name for your machine. So, off the top of my head, I thought of your wireyness and decided it should be called Mowgli. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Why not call the Mac mini "Cooper" just to add to the confusion? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Ok... Go ahead.... Ignore my idea. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Wow. I just didn't realize that you'd meant to suggest that as the name! I assumd you were asking what a Mini Cooper was, although I was rather surprised you didn't know! However, in retrospect, you get full credit for the idea. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	TMan, you really should get a Mini Cooper. It is much more of a chick magnet than a Mac Mini. Even girls who are in SE or EE or CE or CS are not aroused by the power of a computer (which bewidlers me but whatever, it must be a penis thing). Naming the Mac Mini "Cooper" is an awesome name. Not nerdy like my iPod Shuffle name, but whatever it is still cool :P. (Reply to this)
