I suddenly understand why it is so hard to pick a name for your child. I sit here, suveying my new friend and responsibility, Mr. or Ms. Laptop, and I have no idea what kind of entity it is. Will it be like my first computer, named Jaundice (please guess why!), or will it be more like my schizophrenic-but-loyal laptop who gyrated between being Lady Jane Grey and Ivan the Terrible? I don't even know what its gender is!! But, saint or sinner, my baby has arrived and now I must figure out who and what it is and how to deal with it in a sane and responsible manner.

Any name ideas?
