192.0. "I'll name that RSTS node in ???" by FOOT::RUSSELL (Why, oh, why, oh.... spells YOYO.) Fri Nov 11 1988 12:38

    Let's have another "Name that node" contest, and this time
    there is a useful prize on offer
    
    A RST/E V9.x Quick Reference Manual
    
    (it got too big to be a pocket guide still!)
    
    RDGE39 needs a new node name, and bear in mind the other
    PDP's have dissimilar name of MAIDEN and SEPTIC, this leaves the
    field wide open.
    
    As usual the rules are 
    a) not obscene (to either UK or US styles)
    b) not already used.
    
    MAIDEN has an up to date node database, if you want to check your
    suggestions easily to ensure not already used...
    
    The competition closes on 21st November; ADG consultants decision
    will be final, unless you dad is bigger than my dad.
    
    Peter.

192.1	FESTER	FOOT::TAYLOR		`Fri Nov 11 1988 14:41`	8
	How about FESTER? That sound suitably yukkie!! Janet PS. My dad is 6' 4" !!
192.2	And the bandit...	MILE::ONEILL_B	BX Turbos are Greeeaaaat....	`Fri Nov 11 1988 16:32`	6
	My vote goes for "SMOKEE" .. 'Blasingsmoke'...!!!! :-) and No I don't want the manual, I prefer automatics..!!!, though I don't drive one....
192.3	A few suggestions	SHAPES::DAGLESSB	Only 44 days to Christmas	`Fri Nov 11 1988 16:47`	17
	How about WINO, ALCHO, DRUNK, or something similar, as U39 is mainly used by the MEFS support team. Maybe NOTVAX or UCGPDP as it is one of the few remaining machines we use that has the pleasure of not using VMS. How about PAR11B, so the node name matches the system name :-) Finally, we could call it SETHST, so when the LAT will not connect to it, we can 'SET HOST SETHST'.
192.4		FOOT::RUSSELL	Why, oh, why, oh.... spells YOYO.	`Fri Nov 11 1988 17:06`	8
	Good try Bryan, but I think I'll disqualify you, as WINO and NOTVAX are already used on the easynet...... UCGPDP sounds good, tho'. Peter.
192.5	It is Friday afternoon	SHAPES::DAGLESSB	Only 44 days to Christmas	`Fri Nov 11 1988 17:11`	2
	I'll withdraw PAR11B, as that is already used as well :-) :-)
192.6		FOOT::RUSSELL	Why, oh, why, oh.... spells YOYO.	`Mon Nov 14 1988 08:18`	4
	PAR11B used as well? Well, I s'pose that's a matter of opinion..... ;^)
192.7		FOOT::RUSSELL	Why, oh, why, oh.... spells YOYO.	`Wed Nov 16 1988 09:34`	7
	OK, guys and gals, how about ... Call the RSTS/E V9.x machine UCGPDP, or UCGRTR, or some such, and use SEPTIC for the CAS/CMO system, and MAIDEN for MEFS? Peter.
