aaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!
don't remind me

Indeed; why do you think tsx-11.mit.edu is named the way it is? TSX-11
was a timesharing version of RT-11 which ran on top of RT-11, which I
used while I was in high school, so I named my workstation after it in
homage to that quaint old system. When I put the Linux FTP site on my
workstation, and later moved it off onto its own dedicated machine, the
name tsx-11 followed it.

(I name all of my machines after Dec OS's and programs. For example,
I'm currently typing this message on DCL, my Sparcstation 5. And my
Laptop running Linux is RSTS-11. And my NT workstation machine, which I
have to use for work? It's called ALL-IN-ONE. :-)
