In the early 1990s, I got a tour of one of the
networking labs at Bell Labs.
I noticed that all the servers were labeled with names--all characters from
The Little Mermaid.
I name all my servers after Scandinavian cities. Right now, I have stockholm
(ANS 500/200), thule (Mac IIci running NetBSD) and reykjavik (Solbourne
S4100/36), with oslo in the wings (POWERServer; exact model to be determined
when I take possession).
The unfortunate consequence of this is that people think I live in Sweden,
and tell me they won't ship stuff to Europe (stockholm.ptloma.edu), ignoring
the .ptloma, and the .edu.
