Oh, I don't know about that - my machines are named with spectacularly
creative monikers like "markbase," "marktop" and such-like.  My two
(current) virtual machines are called MarksWXPSP3 and MarkCent.  I
swear it's not my ego talking here....

"Hactar" from HGttG?  Why don't I remember that one?  Arthur, Ford,
Trillian, Zaphod and Marvin, yea, easy ones, but Hactar?

(I have to confess I haven't hard the heart to go back and enjoy any
of them since I finished Mostly Harmless.  As I should have expected,
the title was the opposite of its apparent meaning.)
