Now because maintenance has gotten to be too expensive.  Now because we 
have an "new wave" of users who won't put up with the Cyber when there are 
"faster" alternatives for attractive prices.  Now because we decided to 
remove the system while the user community is here - instead of during the 
summer when they might be gone.  Pity the poor faculty member who leaves 
for vacation at the end of semester (May) and comes back in August to find 
out that all of their computing facility has been removed from existence.
