- We too are at the mercy of a dead floppy drive. I could probably
- find one in DEC's internal used-equipment database, but it's not
- worth the bother. I'm trying to arm-wrestle someone into connecting
- our GOES clock to an ULTRIX box running xtnp3, which would make everyone
- (including Dr. Fuzzball himself) happier than if we tried to revive
- the poor little fuzzy.

- At some point, the new host will probably find itself with the alias
- "clepsydra.dec.com", and possibly even the same IP address. But don't
- hold your breath; it's not a technical problem, and it's not a political
- problem, it's just lack of time.
