: Misti:    Apple ][+
: Christi:  Enhanced Apple //e
: Karma:    Apple IIGS
: Vixen:    Laser-128

Well, I often refer to the //e by its drive partition name:  /RAVEN
The GS is a little more difficult, as it has five drive partitions--
/GEMINI
/CYCLONE
/TORNADO
/THUNDERBOLT
:Magnum

The GS at work is merely /PHOENIX, which is appropriate not only because
it fits the pattern of drive names I use at home, but also because I
rescued that machine from the scrap heap...

A not so close look at my .sig might suggest the connection between
them... 8-)
