Guest Sarah_SPV Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 Good Afternoon! I have just been given a project at work to build 5 servers and with that I get the heady responsibility of deciding what they are to be called. At the moment we name all our servers after Greek gods, but I think we need a change! Besides, I'm sick of telling the Helpdesk how to spell Dionysus all the bleeding time! :lol: So, get your thinking hats on. Yeah, yeah, you want to know about the prizes don't ya? I have to admit there are no prizes, I'm sorry. Oh what would you lot want with prizes anyway?! From reading the boards I've learnt you've all got more money than sense and whatever I gave away you'd probably end up opening up, tinkering with it, and then trying to sell it to the Japanese! ;) OK, the remit is to think of 5 names (less than 10 characters each) keeping to a theme, but not Greek Gods. :shock: On your marks, get set go! I said go! Well, go on then!
Guest smartphone-web.com Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 What about planets (jupiter, venus etc.) - well, mars was of course also a god :lol:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 How about Derek, Rodney, Albert, Raquel (sp?) and Cassandra? :lol: P
