I'm no longer one of the idle masses

Subject: I'm no longer one of the idle masses

Your ill lust rust mailing list maintainer has finally been hired for
the job that he was promised six months ago.  So now instead of sitting
around, sleeping, vegetating, flaming on the net, and watching my bank
balance shrink, I have to become a responsible member of society.  I
don't know if I'll have as much time to post lots of ridiculous stuff,
but hopefully I'll be able to maintain the mailing list adequately.

On the positive side, I now have my very own MicroVax workstation.  What
should I name it?  How about NEVER-FOR-EVER.MIT.EDU?  Or maybe
DREAMTIME.MIT.EDU?  Or maybe THE-DREAMING.MIT.EDU?  (There are a bunch
of machines at MIT named after dead rock stars.  I don't want to tempt
fate by naming it KATE-BUSH.MIT.EDU...)

			 Welcome to the machine"
