Geez, pick something human to name them after. Mythology, pop-culture ... something. === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]

As CNAMEs, yes. uncle-enzo.linuxmafia.com thus has a bunch of CNAMEs, including "enzo". Hell, you can have CNAMEs of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., if you're that typing-adverse.

YEA that it is I just love that machine - the screen is a work of art Any PC with a 6inch screen that can disply 1024 x 768 & I can read it (even though I use 2.0 magnification glasses), is just incredible. But it has a button on the lid that alt flips it from 800x600 to 1024x768. Trouble is I tend to carry lots of PCMCIA cards with it & am now wishing for a new model that is 1/2 the weight (say about 0.5 lb) & has W-Fi & Bluetooth built in plus a V92 modem built in, and comes with 256mb ram builtin one mem slot instead of the two 128mb chips it has & can accept additional 512mb chip. Am not asking for too much - oh yes it has to be as cheap as the current model. The garbage I lug around with it ... AudioVox RTM-8000 3-band GSM/GPRS Phone (so tiny !!! - but also needs a Compact flash type II to PCMCIA adapter when not used in PDA) Eagle-Tec W802.11b i-Fi card Eagle Tech V90 Modem card (for phone access when nothing else is avail) 3COM Bluetooth card (but am losing patience with that technology so will dump it) 128mb Memstick in a PCMCIA adapter 128mb SD Flash Card in a PCMCIA adapter 256mb Compact Flash Card in a CF type 1 adapter [link\|http://www.sony.jp/products/Consumer/PCOM/PCG-U1/feat4.html\|SONY Vaio PCG-U1] [link\|http://www.sony.jp/products/Consumer/PCOM/PCG-U1/\|Another perspective] Doug M
