[ale] Metricom - Ricochet

[Russell Hogg]

Has anyone heard who might buy Metricom's Ricochet network?  I keep
expecting to hear that WCOM is going to offer a similar service but no dice
yet.

Subject: Re: [ale] OT FUN: What are your hosts named?

When I was in the physics department, I used names of physicists,
naturally. My machine was named teller, after Edwin Teller, one of the
originators of the hydrogen bomb. Since it was also the web server for
students to do online quizes, it seemed appropriate :)

Most of my contract stuff is pretty boring. Names involve location or
the person who uses it the most.

Home network is based on Disney's Sword in the Stone. The wise owl,
archimedes, is the main server, merlin is the wife's machine, the
daughter has wart, the stable boy who grows up to be the true king. 

I need to watch the movie again since my 3 year old has made it plain he
wants his own computer. 

Oh, the laptop, before it died, was mim, merlin's nemesis.
