	A few years back, SetiUSA (my former team) raised a significant amount of $ (over $6k I believe) and they were not allowed to request the naming of a server. Before we go through all this voting--can we have some confirmation (by posting in this thread) from Eric himself as to whether this will or will not be allowed. ____________

I believe the point is to create a fiat before there can be objection. ____________

	Clairification: I have no issue with it being called Oscar-I agree with it. Just wonder if it's worth it if we know Eric isn't even going to acceed to our wishes. ____________

	Hi Blurf, I don't recall the prior request and what the name was, so you might have to remind me. I do know that we did name one server based upon donor request (bruno was a request, I believe, and perhaps ptolemy was as well). I think we had also named a NAS box on the request of the donor, but that name was only visible internally. I don't see any reason that we would deny this request, but I haven't discussed it with Matt and Jeff (who is out sick today). But after Oscar, will we be naming future machines after Six-million Dollar Man characters or Sesame Street characters? Eric ____________

	Oscar fits right in then. Not only Mark's deceased cat but also the name of a Sesame Street character and I think it might have been The six-million Dollar Man's boss. It's been too long since I've seen that show, I can't really remember for sure. Oscar Goldman, the Director of the OSI (played by Richard Anderson). Hey, I was right for a change!! :-) ____________ PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC

I don't remember the specifics and I no longer have access to the Setiusa boards to reread the discussion. I really personally didn't have a concern but I know the Team Owner emailed you and you flat-out said no. That much I remember. ____________
