I've changed jobs three times in the last two years. My address hasn't
changed once. I'm still ucbvax!fair and .

However, the topic at hand was private machines. Let's suppose that I
buy a Symmetric s/375 tomorrow. I register it as "tzone.org" so my
address would be . Tell me how my name or address
changes when I move? I am certainly going to take my new computer with
me when I move, whether that be across the street or across the
country. The only thing that changes is the routing (and not even that
if my current connected neighbors are still willing to call me after I
move).
