Mac naming schemes.

[11:17] i never understand how so many stupid Mac users have their machines open when they're staying in a hotel
[11:17] i can see 9 other Macs here
[11:18] and since the default name for a computer is Firstname Lastname's Mac, i know who owns them
[11:18] *mine* is locked down so it doesn't appear on public networks
[11:18] good grief,

This machine is named WoodDuck: all our hardware that gets named has bird names (though the printer is just HPLaserjet1012), not "$name's Mac/PC/Linux box".

Over the last month, the only non-Apple hardwares on our guest wireless network were a Windows XP machine and @veryfineredwine's Playbook ("Research In Motion: Debian-based Linux"). All of the Apples follow the pattern you're describing.

I should start invoicing.
