Usually I name my machines after gods, but these are the only two Apple
machines I have ATM, and they're almost identical. I considered Castor and
Pollux but Atalanta and Hippomenes just seemed more appropriate. :)
Besides, if I ever got another or got rid of one, Castor and Pollux
suddenly wouldn't make any sense at all.
So I decided that mythical humans would suffice, and would promote the pun.
My naming conventions aren't strict anyway. For example, I usually use
Greek gods for my Linux machines, but I named my Linux-based firewall
Heimdall. :)
