But a name can be a snare and a delusion: we had another

And I had my office in the potting-shed for a time, so my very
odd-looking skeletal tower box, with bits bolted on in all directions,
was named potty. But it soon moved indoors and got a new case so that
name was out of date too. And how much refitting is needed to justify a
rename? new processer, new case, new motherboard, new hard drives, but
all at different times, so at which point should it be renamed?

My (currently down) computer is called bixi, because it has an Intel BX
mainboard. If it turns out I will have to replace it (I hope it's only
the memory, otherwise I'll have to change just about everything) I'll
have to think of a new name as well.
