I had a little lab network set up for a while with systems named Byron,
Carrera, Darrian, Jameson, Jeremy, Holmes and Lords. Believe it or not,
nobody ever got the reference without my having to explain it.

(And just for posterity, it all started when the machine to become
Holmes was so named because the only power cord I could find for it at
the time was an unusually long 12-foot cord. The rest just kind'a
followed.)
