Well, "AlBook" doesn't work for me, "Big Al" reminds me too much of 
that ex-veep from TN, "Aircraft Carrier" is a bit overdoing it, I 
think (Although I've heard "Nimitz" was an Apple internal name for 
it, which is kinda cool) and "BigHonkin'$3KPileo'AluminumGoodness" 
was taken.

You can honestly say you HAVEN'T eaten Salisbury Steak or instant 
mashed potatoes off of yours yet?  Mmmmmm.  Talk about multitasking!

An I am offended that this in any way classifies me with the masses 
of WinTel.  I have never (and hopefully will never) have to use any 
flavor of windoze, much less a 
"BigHonking$500Pileo'DellCrapolawithanexternalCDROM".

Humph.  Get a sense of humor.
