Oh, Mitchell, wonderful - I loved this posting! Do I count as an Urthling if I've got drives on my network named after characters and places in the Urth Cycle? My C: drive is "Conciliator", and somewhere there's an F: drive called "Fuligin", a G: drive called "Gyoll", and an H: drive called Hildegrin. (The nodes and the other drives, incidentally, are named are characters from Spenser's "The Faerie Queene". Anyone else got a remote CD-ROM drive called "Excesse"?)

Where can I get a "Severian Lives" bumper sticker?

I shipped a set of six workstations once, and gave them network names of Thecla, Dorcas, Jolenta, Pia, Daria, and Valeria. The MIS people who bought them immediately renamed 'em after Peanuts characters, of course. Life just is not fair. raster at highfiber.com ---
