Good Afternoon!
I have just been given a project at work to build 5 servers and with that I get the heady responsibility of deciding what they are to be called. At the moment we name all our servers after Greek gods, but I think we need a change! Besides, I'm sick of telling the Helpdesk how to spell Dionysus all the bleeding time! 
So, get your thinking hats on. Yeah, yeah, you want to know about the prizes don't ya? 
OK, the remit is to think of 5 names (less than 10 characters each) keeping to a theme, but not Greek Gods. :shock: On your marks, get set go! I said go! Well, go on then! -------------------- Monday he don't turn up, Tuesday he turn up late, Wednesday he turn up... We don't work Wednesdays!
