- Well, here in my office my main workstation is cambot.ac.duke.edu,
- my test machine is servo.ac.duke.edu (although he's not routed to the
- network at the moment), and my pc running linux is crow.ac.duke.edu
- (that name change hasn't taken effect quite yet -- 128.109.202.51). I'm
- looking forward to adding machines named joel and frank at some point.
-
- Although not internet-connected, my pc at home I call "gamera",
- and one of my SOs' laptop pc is called "gypsy".
-
- And by the way, I use the shadowramma bitmap as my X root image on
- cambot and I got constantly get positive comments.
