Some people just can't take a joke...

The reason why terminator.cc.umich.edu got changed to atari.archive.umich.edu
was technical. The babbling about "negative connotations" and "self esteem"
was a joke. 

In short:

The machine where the Atari Archive is located is called terminator. It
was called terminator before the Atari Archive moved there and will continue
to be called terminator after the Atari Archive moves away. It isn't our
name. atari.archive.umich.edu is our name and whatever machine we use in
the future will inherit the name. This allows us to move the archive
transparently. You can use terminator.cc.umich.edu if you like, but one
day it will stop working. atari.archive.umich.edu will work until the
archive goes away.

Now stop sending me mail about how y'all liked terminator better!
