[dba-Tech] R.I.P. Guinevere

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Rocky

Ha ha, I see your point. But the light rationale is that no one really knows. And, to be honest, I didn't spend that much time thinking it over - it just should be easy to remember.

But I must admit that Athena/Minerva is hard to beat for a meaningful name.

You sure?

" fictional island mentioned within an allegory on the hubris of nations in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias"

" Atlantis eventually falls out of favor with the gods"

In Critias: "But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. For which reason the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is a shoal of mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island."

Not auspicious. 

How about Athena: "the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, mathematics, strength, war strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill in ancient Greek religion and mythology. Minerva is the Roman goddess identified with Athena.[2] Athena is known for her calm temperament, as she moves slowly to anger."

Real jack of all trades, that one. :)

Hi Arthur

I'm with Rocky. Since you have replaced the motherboard - how could you? - only the skin is back of your old darling.

By the way, I thought for a name for our main server doing not much more than hosting all our virtual servers, thus hidden for daily use. "serverone"
was a little boring so I decided for "atlantis".
