I named all my systems are 'medi-evil' and perhaps slightly more modern
weapons, and related, originally I only had 32 IP addresses assigned, so
I sat and worked out a list of names, now I have a little more than a
class C, but I still haven't run out of my original 32 names :)

I also try to use the name most appropriate to its function...

Adam
