The Purdue Libraries are *finally* going to come
on the air.  We've currently got a 750, but are
planning on expanding with an as yet unspecified
machine sometime in future.  So we need a machine
naming theme!  Current thoughts are:

	Stars in some constellation (e.g. Sirius, ...)
	Galaxies (Andromeda, ...)
	Moons (I sort of like Io!)
	Constellations
	lib* (libretto, liberia, libation...)
	"book(s)" in other languages (livre, libro, buch...)
	VAX machine instructions
	Authors of children's books (seuss, grimm, magoose, spock...)
	Water fowl (mallard, swan, ...)

Does anybody out there have any other good ideas,
or any strong favorites from among these?
