heh.

I'm using Hebridean islands for my home network.
Mull is the Mac that's also the mailserver, webserver, Zope server etc
Islay is Lucy's Win machine
Eigg is my lappie cos it's wee
When I finally build that Linux fileserver, it'll be Lewis as they speak
a different language there

If you know your CalMac ferry services, you'll understand why the SSID
of my WAP is something similar to Oban (but not *quite* the same for
security reasons)

Mind you, I hear the Univ of Edinburgh had that naming convention, and
whenever there was a new server (and in an establishment *that* big,
that's a lot), there was a competition to find a new bit of rock, plus
its Lat/Long data.

Cheers
Martin
