I think it's a great idea!

What about "risc6k" ? I am unsure of the official IBM opinion on this name,
but it would seem to be short enough. I don't really see the relevance of
the length problem with risc6000 either, unless you type at one word per
minute.

Austin will hang around. The access has even been opened up a little 
bit for the network. We get a lot out of it also! Now, if only there was
a nice, easy way for us to get it in Australia. (sob, I go back in two
weeks!)
