Then again, I have been known to change my mind. I can't claim that I ever was able to change Angela's mind, though As nature intended, my love. (And Oscar is a very nice name, indeed!) |

How about Felix? Oscar is fine of course but servers should be kept clean and well organized. That is better represented by Felix than Oscar. But in this case I will follow the crowed. I vote for Oscar. |

I vote for Oscar the grouch! Where can I find details on the new server and it's intended purpose? Haven't been on that much recently (work issues) and I'm too dumb to find it on my own. Giz. A proud GPU User Server Donor! |

I vote for Oscar the grouch! The origination came from number crunching "a quick fundraiser". The need was expressed for a nitpicker server, which has been part of the reason for recent extended outages.(well, scheduled extended outages.. they were happening anyway) Staff may re-balance things and which server actually becomes the nitpicker may change.. they have yet to build it.. But funds have been donated to get it rolling. Janice |

Oscar is fine with me though I don't think I have a vote. I am already calling my car Kermit. Why you may ask? When I went to buy it I told the sales man I wanted a mustang with a V8, manual transmission and I would take just about any color other than green. It was year end close out so they only had four cars in stock and to make a long story short, my car is a color called Pacific Green. |

My mother bought a car that the original customer refused because they could not pay. We named it Frodo (Brown Civic with a flame paint job along the sides). Oscar is fine by me.

My my my....... I never thought when I proposed the name Oscar for the new server in the NC donation challenge thread that I would strike such a chord with others...... I thank you for your support, even if you are thinking of a different 'Oscar' than I am...... This is the Oscar that Lori and I still miss every day........and it is his memory that I would be honored to have remembered. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Felix the cat was also associated with an X rated toon as I recall.......... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
