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. -- Cyn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help me to be careful of the toes I step on today as they may be connected to the ass that I may have to kiss tomorrow.
