Re: [ProgSoc] Suggested names for the G3 box

[Michael Lamont <telegnosis@nospam.ozemail.com.au>]

I didn't think Sutekh was a demon...... more along the lines of nasty
god figure, demons tending to be minions of greater evil powers. So
since I think we are talking names of gods how about we go
Hindu.......they have heaps.

here are some options:

Agni god of fire (Fire wire?)
Shiva god of destruction (Sutekh is also a destroyer too much
destruction in the progsoc room could be a bad thing especially
considering overheating hard drives)
Vishnu the preserver (pre - server? Help stop our equipment
frying......)
Yama god of death  (not a really good idea, besides that he was overly
fond of red so unless we get a red G3 box)
Mara god of illusion ( should probably should be saved for an NT box)
Brahma the Creator (maybe if we pinched one of the Ultra 10s from 2/419)

Kali Goddess of Death and Destruction (fairly unpleasant woman, not to
be trifled with reserved for pdp11 machines)
Kubera the fat (good for chunkier boxes)
Krishna god of lust (a drunken, letcherous womaniser. was overly fond of
a good time.)

will think of more later, possibly weirder ones.
