        This reminds me of a company where I worked in Wisconsin,USA. Allmost all the servers were named after GreenBay Packers (American Football team) players names. Even the mainframe password was Packers quaterback's name. :eek:

                                      Luke 2:9 - 12 (Slightly ammended) And a Sales Rep from Microsoft suddenly stood before them, and the glory of Bill shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the rep said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the students; for today in the classroom of Ryan there has been born for you a Savior, which is a Windows Server. "This will be a sign for you: you will find a server encased in aluminum and sitting in a rack." I need to go pray for forgiveness now...:-O
