Caution! Entering Tech Support Zone. One of my clients is a law firm that handles personnel injury claims. In my struggle to give their new server a name, besides server, I came up with ouch. I would like to change it to something a little more respectable but I still have the same “what to name it” problem. I have already ruled out quityerbellyachin and youoweme. I could name it with their initials but that has changed a few times over the ~15 years I’ve worked with them. I think they keep me around because they feel sorry for me. So. What to name their server …? Exiting Tech Support Zone. Have a nice day. ---
