Hmmm...
Well, I name my HD partitions...does that count?  So for a while, it was
Leonard (what else do you call a partition on a Vulcan-20?).  Now that
drive has moved on to my enhanced ][e, and is called Raven.

The problem is, the IIgs now has a 250Mb drive, partitioned into five
chunks:  Gemini, Cyclone, Thunderbolt, Tornado, and Magnum.  None of those
is a good anthropomorphic name for the system, though...

(Okay, who can tell me where to find the namesakes for those six drive
partitions...)
