Ehh, don't worry Sellam. Those Vaxes had those names for over 7
years now. The names are courtesy of one of the best managers I've worked
for. A grumpy and fair man named Bob. He didn't "give a shit what you did,
just keep the customer (user) happy, and get the damn job done."
What sucks is they got rid of those Vaxes. I wonder what happened
to them... Would've been nice to have gotten my hands on one. Combo was
quite impressive looking. Dual 6' tall racks, and a 3 1/2' tall rack in
the middle. I'll have to see if I can find a matching picture in the
net...
