Then I must be equally sad...

When I worked for IBM, I named my lab systems in a similar fashion.  I
had a HAL, a WOPR, and my personal favorite, ProteusIV
(http://crave.cnet.co.uk/gadgets/top-ten-evil-computers-49293424/2/)

WOPR and ProteusIV were 8 node cluster systems and they had their own
temperamental personalities... just like their counterparts int he
movies.

My Alienware laptop is named Klaatu (from Day the Earth Stood Still,
not tangentially from Army of Darkness), and I have a lot named for
Star Wars characters and references too. (Rogue, Wedge, Deathstar)
