eme besides "x's MacBook Pro" or "x's iPhone 5s"? Like your phone is a planet in the universe and your gaming rig is the sun or some other mormon poo poo? If so, explain yourself to me. explain to me what makes you tick but don't explain yourself enough to me as to affect my own mental stability.

if I'm prompted for a name in initial setup I name devices after the various Metal Gears

if I have to dig into menus to change the name they get stuck with the default because I don't care that much
