and I christened thee

Well, I ordered and have now received my Zire 71. So far so good, but it's only been a few days. Admittedly, it was a pain to input all the contact info since they were spread around.

I've decided to call my PDA "Bluey." Since my main computer is called dasGehirn (or "the brain" in German), I went with the previously non-existent Pinky and the Brain thing and wanted to call it Pinky. It fit somewhat the personality of the Zire. The retarded relative a real computer; yet still useful. However, the front cover is destinctly blue. Therefore, "Pinky" just didn't fit. I went with Bluey. Additionally, when I get my laptop (which will be a while), I've decided to name it the same as Brain's arch-nemesis, Snowball.
