Well, you still need that.

Listen, sonny, back in the day, machines had node names, because they were
expensive boxen like Suns, not some generic made down the street boxes
attached to some wussy residential network that doled out temporary DHCP
addresses. No, machines had NAMES, not www. DNS aliases.

The kind of person who has 20-30 workstations in his research group and 300+
other machines on the department LAN. Healthcare down the hall has them
named after medical functions (intubate.mie, gauze.mie, stitch.mie),
Cognitive Engineering has them named after guitarists (knopfler.mie etc),
and Enterprise Integration had them as cities (quebec.mie, rome.mie).
It's an easy way to figure out who in the department has a certain machine.
So ours are fruits and vegetables.

No, I'd rather they keep it directed to peach for now directly, but
regardless, the new DNS name is a good idea.

| OK, I asked Calum to post this but..... Before last night, If you ever wanted to tell people about our little group, and felt they might want to see the official RTLToronto web page you had to remember this ungainly address. (URL) "www" peach.mie. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
