Alright... after stewing on it with 4 machines and two mac, heres my
$0.02 worth...
Cytometers: Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway.
Macs: Spock and Tuvok
Regardless who makes 'em, cytometers have personalities. Anyone that
doesn't think so, never used one. My Elite is somewhat like "Kirk" in
that it always gets the job done, though is often insubordinate at
times. My old 753 from grad school was more like Picard - never
complained and always did what you told it to.
So my suggestion would be to asses the personalities of the 4 beasts, then
name them accordingly. For example, the tempermental machine (Kirk),
straight and narrow (Picard), get the job done and cover your mistakes
(Sisko), and sleek and efficient (Janeway). The Macs could be named
according to which one is bestowed with more memory (Spock, then Tuvok).
It would logically follow that any error would be in the data aquisition
and never in the the analysis...
I must admit that I do find it comical to think of naming a cytometer.
Most people that I know *call* them colorful names rather than naming them.
There,
David
p.s. - never met a cytometer that reminded me of a Pheringi...
