The New Baby is HERE!! Help me name her(him)

My Innova, sitting in the garage waiting for someone to put her(him) together so I can play.


Here is my AutoPilot sitting in the garage, waiting to be installed.



This is the opening screen for my AutoPilot (computer driven quilting?. The computer as you can see is a 22" touchscreen, flat panel HP computer. It is attached to my 12' quilting frame and has a remote mouse so that I don't even have to walk over and touch the screen to pull up quilt designs and arrange it on the quilt. No keyboard needed here. Unbelievable technology. And with 500 GB of memory.



Keith and Michael (one of the developers) from ABM came from Houston to do the install.They came back and stayed until 10:30pm to finish my training because I had a class to teach at Lavender Lime from 5:30 to 8:30. How is that for great customer service?



When Michael turned it on I kept waiting to hear the sound of the energy packs turning on like in the Ghostbusters movie-but it was quiet as a mouse.

















My new baby---just waiting for me to get home and use her (him).
She (he) needs a new name. I called my old one Lizzie (female) and she worked like a champ, but this one seems more male. Very strong, sturdy and with a picture of a stealth bomber---must be male. A woman would never think to put that image on a quilting machine.

Any suggestions for a name?
Who wants to go to Alask with this waiting for me?

Looks like a Hercules to me. Your last picture almost looks like a hospital room instead of being a sewing area. Wow...that monitor is awesome. I am drooling with jealousy right now. Wow! What a monster machine!

Wonderful. At least you won't mind coming home from vacation. I think a good name would be Junior for David Junior. Or maybe Lars.

Thanks for all your suggestions for names. This is a tough one. I had less difficulty namin my 4 cats.
