amaebi and threeringedmoon, the new Mac will be Pennyroyal. I'm not sure i'd ever be able to name a machine rue, for fear of increasing buyer's regrets. Admittedly, this machine Mandrake, which suffered a fall and hard impact so soon after purchase, has given me years of regret for not carefully considering the balance of the bag it was in. The refurbished quality has me worrying, although both our mac minis are refurbished machines and have given long satisfaction. I keep telling myself that the machine will have all the problems worked out of it.
From this "What is in a name?" article of uncertain scholarship: Herbalists in the Middle Ages called this plant, 'Pulioll-royall', a bastardization of Pulegium regium, royal flea chaser.
"Mentha Pulegium" - root partition (currently 62 GB)
"Flea Chaser" - my corruption of the Latin name, partition containing the work space (currently 24 GB & 40% free)
(The archive partition will retain its same name) (currently 32 GB)
What better a name for a computer than something that repels bugs?
