Naming your Macbook Pro

If you use a computer sometimes it’s fun to give her a name. My latest baby is the above mentioned laptop. Why her? Because a Macbook can only be a woman. Just take a close look at the soft curvy lines, the slim case, and the caring attitude the operating system shows toward You.

Since you are the most important person for her she takes good care of you by auto-adjusting the brightness of the screen (less bright at night, more in daylight) and automagically switching on a keyboard backlight at night. The magsafe connector, the built in charge level meter on the battery, and the small white pulsating “eye” while the system is in sleep are small nuances - yet these features make you fall even more for her…

Not to mention the really quick startup and simplistic yet powerful approach to the overall usage of the system. Simplistic as in the way the graphical interface works yet powerful which you will figure as soon as you start digging into the unix underpinnings of her.

Just like women: usually it’s their beauty that catches us first - yet in the long run justpure beauty is not enough. There must be something more on top of it.

In short if I’d be capable of falling in love with a computer that would be her. And rest assured folks, even computers have a soul (as people planned their circuits and built them). So you should take good care of them. Especially as more and more pieces of our “very important” digital life gets stored on their hard drives.
