Computers
Currently, there are 8 computers on my LAN. The naming scheme for them are the Noble Gases and Alkali Metals (it was originally just the Noble Gases, but I ran out of names) - krypton, xenon, argon, radon, neon, cesium, sodium, and lithium. Future systems will be named from the following list - potassium, rubidium, and francium. After that, I’m not sure what will happen :) (I’m starting to get close to running out of names again!)
Other geek toys include a Fujifilm FinePix A800 digital camera, and various console gaming systems :) (NES, SNES, N64, Playstation, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 Elite, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance SP, Nintendo DS Lite).
