Thus, ihnp4 was Indian Hill Network Processor #4
mh was Murray Hill. ak was the Atlanta Wire Works, sb was Southern
Bell, cb was Columbus (Mark Horton was mark@cbosgd for a long time)
plus others.

Yup, Columbus Operating Systems Group D, as I recall.

Then there were the machines in the lab that had (and have) names like
bonnie, clyde, ulysses, research, allegra, lento, harpo, chico, etc.

Ulysses was once mhb5b for email. But we called it ulysses. Shortly after
I got there, I got tired of mhb5c being circe, mhb5p being penelope, but
mhb5b not being something with a 'b'. For that matter, I didn't think
that Murray Hill Building 5 made a great prefix for a computer name, so I
rammed through a name change. Folks with very old pathalias databases
will find that the aliases remain.
