That's why 3M registered mmm.com back in 1988.
When BU joined the internet and promptly brought down about a third of it with their host table entries one of the problems was a host named 3b (.bu.edu, it was an AT&T 3B5) which caused a 4bsd script to go into an infinite loop filling roots (/tmp) which back then crashed systems. Also, one-letter hostnames (a.bu.edu as an alias for bucsa.bu.edu, etc.) I know because basically it was my fault. -- -Barry Shein The World | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Dial-Up: US, PR, Canada Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
