Thanks to everybody who submitted names (some of them came very close), but ultimately I decided on a name that I kinda stumbled across on my own. The new PowerBook G4, which arrived on Wednesday, will be known as Katia. See, Nadia had been my primary machine, but it was a desktop. Kitka was my notebook but was slow compared to Nadia. Put them together—a notebook serving as my main machine—and you have Katia.
