EAD list subscribers:

The Library of Congress maintains the EAD list on a machine it calls
"RS8"  (This is an IBM RS6000 mini computer that has served us well
for many years.)  On August 13th, a Sun minicomputer will replace RS8.
The new name will be SUN8.  THIS CHANGE SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE EAD LIST!
However, since I am a firm believer in Murphy's Law:

Nothing is as easy as it looks
Everything takes longer than you expect, and
If anything can go wrong, it will, at the worst possible moment!

I wanted to warn you about the hardware change.  Many mail deliver
systems are very sensitive to hardware name/address changes.  I have
been assured that the hardware change will not affect mail lists,
but we won't know definitively until after it occurs.

Have a nice day.

Randy (your ever-watchful list supporter)
