You must have been missing some maps.

When I helped Walt Disney Animation set up uucp last year, I made
sure that they submitted a map entry, pronto.  The entry is dated
November 1986.	I believe the information in it is still correct
(even though it's been a long time since I had to bother them),
because mickey continues to reliably gulp down its daily megabyte
of netnews.

When Disney linked up with us, some AT&T machine listed a "mickey"
as a (dead) neighbor.  The keepers of the map removed it for us.
Once in a while, mickey will bounce a message intended for (I think)
mickey.berkeley.edu and somehow misrouted to mickey.uucp.  Other than
that, though, Disney has clear precedence on the name 'mickey' (which
is only fitting).
