    Hey guys! I have a rather unorthodox question.

    I always nickname my favorite tools and gadgets. My car, my computer, my toys, etc. They all need a nickname! Crazy, yes. Pointless, yes.

    Anyway, my T61(p?) is going to arrive next week and I need to come up with a nickname! Just for some inspiration, what would you guys nickname YOUR Thinkpads?

    Come on people get creative here! Tell me your Thinkpad's nickname and explain why you call it that! If you don't have a nickname for your Thinkpad just make one up!

    I would name my thinkpad the "smartest friend".

    Cheers

    I think the name "thinkpad" is itself pretty good and I like to call my T61, thinkpad, not laptop.
    Edit: Thinktank is also a good one.
    My chinese friend likes to call it "Sinkpad".
