I name all my servers after Scandinavian cities. Right now, I have stockholm
(ANS 500/200), thule (Mac IIci running NetBSD) and reykjavik (Solbourne
S4100/36), with oslo in the wings (POWERServer; exact model to be determined
when I take possession).

The unfortunate consequence of this is that people think I live in Sweden,
and tell me they won't ship stuff to Europe (stockholm.ptloma.edu), ignoring
the .ptloma, and the .edu.
