      Speaking of folklore, I think it might be interesting to 
   hear various names for computers. Here at RPI, we have had
   several computers. The first, (sorry not sure what it was)
   was actually 4 hung together. This of course was known as
   "Bob&? and Ted&Alice" ( I believe, I am much to young to have
   ever seen the show it was named after. ) The next computer
   (I believe, I may have left one out), was a large behometh known
   as "Fat Albert". This I believe was a IBM 3033. The heat it
   produced was used to heat the building in which it was housed.
   After this computer, we had a IBM 3081D with dual processers.
   And of course, being split brained, it was known as Sybil. This
   was replaced a year ago to a newer and faster computer, a 3090-200S
   But the projections show that it will be outdated in less than 2 
   years. So the (not so) obvious name: "Maginot" after the french line
   of defense that was obsolete before it was finished. When we get
   our next computer, I'll let you all know what we name it.
     Also, how many places have computer center in a converted chapel,
   complete with stained glass windows?
     (oh, btw, the 3090 no longer provides enough heat to heat the
   building, but no problem, the phone system does that now!)
