And you think I'm geeky...

Maunakea, the first and original Exchange Server for the corporation, will be laid to rest on Tuesday, December 3, 2002. According to the configuration of the server, Maunakea was brought up on 7/22/97, which was almost 10 months before I arrived on the scene. The server has seen us through the migration from MS Mail, and at one time held over 3,000 mailboxes. She was there to welcome Vulcano, BREXCH01, MRIEXCH01, MCHEXCH01, and TIEXCH01 as comrades in arms, to ring in the 21st Century, and served as the original connector between the MRI and MGM Exchange organizations, at the time the two corporations joined together. Some of you may remember when we almost lost her a couple of years ago. Thankfully, I was able to revive her, and she's given several more years of dedicated service. I was hoping she would be present to see at least the beginning of the migration to Exchange 2000, but alas, it was not meant to be. There will be a short wake commemorating the event (Kleenex will be provided) on 12/3/02 at 9:30 a.m. in Susan's cube to mark the occasion. Flowers, eulogies, and/or other tokens of condolence will be accepted. Susan Conkey Exchange Administrator MGM MIRAGE
