Yeah, get a sense of humor! ;-)
I named my titanium PB, Mai Tai (get it?...My Ti. It's a long story I
won't bore you with now.)
How about some help naming this machine? All suggestions will be
considered. I have never been at a loss for naming my computers. I
have had this 17" for a few months and it is still nameless.
Once we find a name for the 17" PB, you can help me name my new 30 gig iPod.
