Wow.  This has been a great thread.  There are some very entertaining server farms out there.  We have had several 
themes (when our CIOs were either fun or humorless).  Our low point was FSC1, FSC2, etc....but we have a more 
lighthearted chief now so we're on to Sesame Street...Bert & Ernie, Oscar et al....and famous foursomes Bob, Ted, Carol 
and Alice.
